An incredibly, enjoyable, thought-provoking novel!!
Susan Wise Bauer's novel, The Revolt, is a strong, intriguing, enjoyable page-turner. If you enjoy suspense, mystery, political intrigue, and a little of the old-flame love story, this is for you. But be prepared to think! We live in an age in which religious views often go against government issues, and Bauer tells a compelling tale of what can happen when the two are forced together. An ...

Narrative & comprehensive ancient history for kids (& adults).
I bought this book while homeschooling my two girls. The book was such good story that I began using it for evening reading to the girls before bed (that way I got to read it too!) I found that the narrative format (story telling) was much more engaging than a collection of facts (as textbooks tend to do). The author selects information, individuals and nations and so obviously leaves out a ...

A great resource
First the positive Each book in this series is a complete introduction to history within a certain time frame, for example this one is about the Middle Ages. You will have to add your own history book to go along with this, this is just the lesson plan/idea book. (Usorne History of the World would be one example of the type of history book you might buy). This book has a lot of ideas and ...

The Story just keeps getting better
My children (ages 6 and 14) studied through volumes 1 and 2 last year for our homeschool social studies curriculum. Volume 3 is everything we hoped for to extend our knowledge! The activity guides have proven to be a vital resource to cut some preparation time for lessons. In Volume 3 each chapter covers a slightly broader time frame, making it even more important to follow up the lesson with ...

Excellent book for grade 4 and up
To everyone who is whining that this book is not geared for younger children: IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FOR YOUNGER KIDS! Ms. Bauer clearly spells out her philosophy that history should be taught in the order that events occur. This book offers lots of literature suggestions for the slightly older student as well as the opportunity to begin practicing outlining as a study technique. As with all ...

This is a winner for our family
Despite reading a few bad reviews for this activity book, I decided to purchase it because I feel I'm lacking in creativity when it comes to making history fun with hands-on projects. I wasn't impressed with the price until I received the book. I now consider this a very valuable resource and definitely worth the money. The first half of the book is a chapter-by-chapter resource list that ...
