Big J by Stewart Ross
This is the story of "Big J" - Julius Caesar. Where ever you look, he's there: coins, statues, he's a real celebrity, and he's getting a bit too big for his sandals. He is fast losing all his friends, especially Brutus. This is a very enjoyable story about the great Roman general, with an abundance of accurate historical detail in the illustrations, and plenty of amusement to be had with the speech bubbles. 'Did you know?' list at the back offers interesting facts about Julisus Caesar. This book contains a portrait of Julius Caesar to show what he actually looked like. It includes notes for parents and teachers.
'True stories retold in simple text supported by speech bubbles make these books attractive to boys who may still be emergent readersThe comic-style illustrations of people and the necessary props for the story shown against a plain white background help to make understanding quick and clear.' -- Real Book News, Issue 11 20020501
