We 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.

PLEASE view ALL 1-starred reviews before making your purchase

Customer Rating:

I would not have bothered to write a review of this book for there are many 1-starred reviews here already and many have made very good arguments against this book (if only I had read those before purchasing). However, I feel compelled to add one more negative review because I feel the need to balance out the 5-star reviews. This book makes me question Ms. Bauer's Well-Trained Mind and whether I should use her materials in my homeschool curriculum.

Homeschool material	Customer Rating:
Excellent 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.

This book will make your child LOVE History

Customer Rating:

My 1st grader and even my 5th grader absolutely LOVE this book. While some of the material is advanced for my 1st grader, it is written in a way that he can still comprehend the general idea. I also purchased the workbook that accompanies this book and it is filled with lots of very informative teaching guides and tear-out pages for my child to color. My 5th grader has another book on History of Western Civilization and he comes in and listens while I teach from this book as it explains events in a much more indepth way. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, but also highly recommend that you purchase the accompanying workbook. Many thanks to the author!
