Dormeo the dormouse leads readers on a journey through ancient Rome. Beginning with its foundation through transitions from kingdom to republic to empire, many different aspects of Roman life are explored, though on a very basic level. Whimsical cartoons with deadpan speech bubbles inject lighthearted humor into the presenation. Sporadic Latin words appear throughout; there is no glossary.
