Trojan Horse by Albert Lorenz

This picture book tells the story of Troy using panels, speech balloons and engineering/architectural-style drawings, for a totally unique perspective on the famous conflict. Packed full of well-researched facts and historical details, this book will appeal to kids learning about the Greeks in school, as well as kids looking for an adventurous story about military cunning and fantastic events.
