Summary: Awesome for bedtime or anytime!
Comment: My boys are 6 and 4 and they LOVE this book! We read at least one chapter every evening before bed. As an added bonus, I'm learning more about history by reading this to them than I did from K-12 (pretty sad, I know).

Summary: Great History for Children!
Comment: This is a great history program for children. The information just about the right length for the younger children and leaves out just enough to make the older ones want more. So that they can go look up more information on there own.
Customer Rating:
Summary: does not distinguish between fact and legend
Comment: I 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 book for parents wanting a history book for young children. I will be on the lookout for a careful historically accurate world history book for children.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good overall
Comment: overall, 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.
