Welcome to The Kid’s Korner.
I decided to do this feature as I have so many great children’s books to share. From picture books, to books for beginning readers, to middle graders, I have plenty of fun ones.
Today I’m sharing another fun book in the If You Were Me And Lived In… series by Carole P. Roman.

If You Were Me And Lived In…
Renaissance Italy
by Carole P. Roman
Genre: Education / Adventure / Historical / Children’s Book
Grade Level: 5 – 14
My Review
Carole P. Roman once again takes us back in time. This stop, Renaissance Italy.
You’ll learn all about some of the famous people and artists of the times like Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galalei, Michelangelo and many more. And the wonderful illustrations show you how people lived, what they wore and what they celebrated, among other things. And the glossary provided at the end of the book proves quite handy.
I particularly liked learning about what the people ate, and how the practice of art evolved. And I always wondered how they cleaned their clothes. They didn’t have washing machines. What I discovered was fascinating.
Just like the other books I’ve read in this series, I learned a lot and your children will too. This book is a wonderful teaching tool and also a grand adventure.
5 Stars
Here’s a glimpse inside.
You might have lived in a home like this, called a palazzo. This was fun to learn as I’d seen homes like these in many movies but never knew they had a name for the style.
And here’s what you might have worn. It took a long time to get dressed, as there were many layers.

I love her books.
So do I, Sandra! I have many more to share!
I have quite a few of this author’s works. She sent them to me after I reviewed he son’s works – Philip Michael Cash. I reviewed some and then passed them on to my cousin’s 2 children and they loved them.
I’ve read all of Michael’s books and sure enjoying Carole’s books too:)
This is such a cute idea for a children’s book!
It sure is. I’m really enjoying these:)
