Carole P. Roman: A TOS Crew Review

Carole P Roman Blog
Carole P. Roman 


We love discovering new books to add to our history and geography study.  Carole P. Roman has quickly become one of our favorite authors!

We recently were given 2 books in her award winning historical series - If You Were Me and Lived in... Elizabethan England: An Introduction to Civilizations Throughout Time (Volume 8) and If You Were Me and Lived in...Viking Europe: An Introduction to Civilizations Throughout Time (Volume 3).  In addition - we also received 2 "mystery titles" to look at!



If You Were Me and Lived in… Historical series - designed for ages 8-15


Books by Carole P Roman

We love these softcover books!  They are filled with information and facts about particular time periods.

 If You Were Me and Lived in...Viking Europe: An Introduction to Civilizations Throughout Time (Volume 3) is illustrated with charming watercolor style illustrations.  It takes your child to a visit of Viking Eurpoe.  From what you name might be, social classes, home life, and what you might have eaten (horse meat...a treat?)  these books give your child a snapshot of life in the time of the Vikings.


What you did with your days, how you learned, and even what you called your mother give us the details of Viking life.  A section introduces Viking beliefs, and the norse gods as well as other famous Vikings from history.

If You Were Me and Lived in... Elizabethan England: An Introduction to Civilizations Throughout Time (Volume 8)


Books by Carole P Roman

This engaging book is written in the same style, but takes you to the world of Elizabethan England. 
The illustrations are brighter in this book, and the text is larger and simpler, but still packed with interesting facts!


My testers love how they really get the "insider details" about the time periods as they read.  What did you eat, where did you learn, what did your parents do?  It takes history and makes it truly come alive for them.  We have reviewed several other titles  - you can read about them here.  These books make a perfect addition to your current history study, or as a springboard for a unit study!

Fribbet the Frog and the Tadpoles: A Captain No Beard Story (Volume 8) - ages 3 - 8


Books by Carole P Roman

This is a sweet story about the joys of family!  Poor Fribbet is being overrun with new tadpoles, but learns that family is worth the messes.  This is from Carol P. Roman's award winning first series for her sons.

If You Were Me and Lived In... Italy: A Child's Introduction to Cultures Around the World

Books by Carole P Roman


We love this series!  The softcover books take you to different countries around the world.  They are full color with photos and illustrations. Each book introduces your child to a country, it's language, landmarks, food, and more.  My testers loved learning what their name would be, or what they would call their parents.  We have reviewed other titles - read what we thought here
