Details: I just finished reading the book today in preparation for teaching my DD9. I learned so much about the different countries of the world and why they are & how they came to be. I had been taught other ideas on certain subjects, but learned the history behind events in a different way through this book. I look forward to teaching my DD about the last 150 years with this resource.

Details: This book is so engaging my 6 yr old has almost completed it independently.
Written in a very storylike style.
Review Summary: An Excellent World History Primer
Date: 2007-09-21
Details: There is no doubt that this series is well written. My son read each of the four books in the span of less than a week. They really piqued his interest. These books will let you know what really turns on your child, but you'll need to go on for further, more in-depth review.
Can't recommend this series enough for the pre-teen set!
Review Summary: History for children
Date: 2007-09-04
Details: This was a good review for elementary children. It is not an in-depth study of any point in particular but it is an excellent overview of historical events. It is easy reading and gives information that makes history come alive. However, it is not a history book, which is why it is such good reading and a wonderful overview. If you want a lot of information about a particular event or time, then you need an additional text.
