Eratosthenes: A history genius

There’s a wonderful book we read this week that is quite interesting. It’s called The Librarian Who Measured The Earth by Kathryn Lasky. My kiddos loved this book! Even though this book is short, it’s packed with lots of history, geography and math. It amazed the kiddos that this man from the third century was only off by 200 miles in his calculations. That’s pretty spectacular in my kiddos’ eyes. If you’re interested, you can always read more about Eratosthenes.
