| Enjoyable Look at History |
I began with Story of the World Vol. 1 by recommendation of a friend. I think I've enjoyed this volume even more. The chapters are short and are written in a way that holds my son's attention well (he just turned eight). I highly recommend getting the activity book to accompany this. It contains maps, coloring pages, games, review cards, and many suggestions for crafts to illustrate each chapter. There are also comprehension questions, narration, and suggestions for further reading.
My daughter is almost six, and she is not as excited about this series. I think if we didn't have the activity book she would not enjoy history at all. That may simply be because it's not her interest, while my son likes anything non-fiction, but it is also written a bit above her comprehension level. I would wait to use this until at least age seven. My son at this point begs me to read just one more chapter every day.
As for those who've said this is historical inaccurate, I would say that I haven't found a huge margin of error. When I have come across something that contradicts what I've learned elsewhere, I consider it an opportunity to dialog with my kids about it. Or I skip it. I also believe that at this age my focus is to expose them to the idea of history and culture rather than to drill them on historical facts.

| Excellent condition, on time |
The book was in excellent condition--not even a page bent! Also, it was received sooner than expected. A great purchase all around. |

| The best history book for children! |
Susan Wise Bauer has gone out of her way to create this well -written history books for children. I highly recommend purchasing the activity books that go with each one. They are filled with art projects, coloring pages, map exercises, lists of additional readers (both fiction and non-fiction), and narration questions! It is a complete history curriculum! |
