Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lots of information...
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Story of the World Vol. 4
This book is so engaging my 6 yr old has almost completed it independently.
Written in a very storylike style.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Excellent World History Primer
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!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - History for children
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book
This history book is amazing. It has rich words, very well written and it make history fun and exciting.Don't listen to those people who gave a small amount of stars, this book is great and I srongly recomend it.
