This is a book that tells the tale of an epic warrior, Alexander the great, his life, and the battles he has fought in. This highly informative book has all the facts you can know about him, and has pictures of sites he has visited, statues and busts of him, and pictures depicting his great battles. These are labeled with facts, and if possible, dates. Alexander the great was born in 356 B.C., and died in May 29, 323 B.C. He was the first Greek to be later worshiped as a god. WOW!
I thought it was interesting that Alexander the great left his kingdom “To the strongest.” It shows that he REALLY favored strength, physically and mentally, above all else.
I enjoyed this book because it has all the facts you can know about him, and has pictures of sites he has visited, statues and busts of him, and pictures depicting his great battles, and they are helpfully labeled and, if possible, paired with a date.
