Take turns flipping tiles and matching pairs to help your toddler or young child recognize famous names like Pegasus, Achilles, Zeus, and Medusa.

It’s never too early to expand your child’s horizons to the Bronze Age and beyond! This game is intended to delight children between the ages of 3 and 8.

New Release

Journey through an ancient dreamscape! Our first high-contrast board book is also a new translation of an ancient poem that has been reimagined for modern bedtimes. The Mountains Are Sleeping: A High-Contrast Bedtime Book has been thoughtfully translated and illustrated to make your baby feel at home in the peaceful nighttime world of the ancient Mediterranean. With The Mountains Are Sleeping, bedtime can be a moment for calm, joy, and building an early foundation in humanities education. The high-contrast images are ideal for newborns and infants whose eyes are best at registering sharp, striking patterns, while the simple poem introduces babies to new words and new ideas that will expand their horizons into the Bronze Age and beyond. Parents will also find it easier to read in low light than other children’s books, which makes it ideal for the nursery of a newborn or infant. The illustrations were provided by Ally Frame (https://allyframe.com/), whose art was inspired by the red-figure vases of ancient Greece. We proudly manufacture this board book with the highest quality materials in the United States.
