Hour of the Olympics


TitleHour of the Olympics

Author:  Mary Pope Osborne

Publisher:  Random House (USA)

Copyright Date:  1998

 


Mary Pope Osborne takes readers on a whimsical, fantasy adventure to visit ancient Greece.  She teaches readers about the historical Olympic Games and rules that were in place during those times.

Hour of the Olympics is a fantastic read along with entire series.  I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book with my students.  This book is essential if you are introducing the influence of Greek culture on the U.S.A.  My students learned a wealth of information and how women were treated during this time.
