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 October 7, 2008 1 out of 7 found this review helpful
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.

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 October 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!
