This was a good book to highlight the bigger events in Cleopatra's life and cover the confusing transitions of power. I liked that it included a map, though extremely basic, to help anchor the fact that these events took place at a real place and time. I especially liked that the book made it a point that Cleopatra was intelligent and held her own, something that I really want to reinforce with my daughter. It also led to an interesting conversation about how important voting rights are (due to the bit about the assassination of Caesar) and the various reasons why people commit suicide (Antony, Cleopatra and two servants) and how ruthless people can be when they want power (the killing of Cleopatra's eldest son). The book doesn't glamorize any of this, just states it as close to fact and the pictures do not depict anything graphic. For a younger child it might be a bit harder to explain the last half of the book that cover those events. The illustrations are beautiful and my daughter wants me to do her hair like the artist designed rather than the generally accepted straight black hair. She also wants to read the book more than once so she must have found it interesting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, But Very Accurate *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2012* Take it from someone who has been studying the Hellenistic world for over 14 years now (both independently and academically): this book is absolutely fantastic. The fact that the authors present alternative facets of traditionally recorded history is both superb and unique in a children's book. The highlight of the book for me was the Battle of Actium. The authors mention the use of sails aboard Cleopatra's flagship as evidence of her strategy to return of Egypt. This simple fact gets left out of too many Rome-centered works for historians, so I am both surprised and satisfied that it was presented in this glorious picture book. And the pictures themselves are superb. Cleopatra actually looks like Cleopatra: not classically beautiful, but she has that stunning face and strong profile which would have been considered more than glorious in the ancient world. No doubt, my students will enjoy it as much as I have. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars but this is so nicely Artistic. They cleaned up the story a lot ... *by K***W on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2017* I can't find my original book, but this is so nicely Artistic. They cleaned up the story a lot because reading of a Queen who killed her siblings to be Queen of Egypt isn't nice. They did a great job though in explaining her relationship to Ceaser as to not upset little ones. These dicey things are kept low key and pretty classy. Kinda like you hover over a topic but not get too involved...that is the best way to explain to kids who Cleopatra is. I am impressed by how they drew her. Pretty much to how her remaining statues look like. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/2076023-cleopatra](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/2076023-cleopatra) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
