Average Rating:
 Rating:  - does not distinguish between fact and legendI foolishly purchased this book before reading the reviews and was struck straight away at how the author carelessly alternates between historical fact and myths and legends. I was very disappointed in this as children need to know that there is a very important difference, and how to tell the difference. The author does not signal to the reader when she departs from talking about historical fact to talking about legends: THIS IS A HUGE DOWNFALL for a children's history book. I do not recommend this ... Read More Rating: - good overalloverall, I like this book...the story type history is very readable for children- to them and also by them independently. But I think that the time periods covered in the book are not put together well...they jump all over in time instead of following an organized time line. Rating:  - Strong writing and historyVery strong writing and good, solid, organized history. Makes concepts accessible for young learners. Rating: - Easy LearningWe have this series on CD now and the whole family enjoys listening to it on a car journey. It is a good run through history, with things even the adults did not know before. Rating: - Homeschool materialExcellent material. I really like how this material is designed to to cycle through over three times during a child's homeschool experience in grades K-12.
