A page turner

I bought this book at the request of my homeschooling sister. She says that she and her almost 5 year old read a few pages a day and are already halfway done with the book. She says each section is brief, but would help to build a broad basic knowledge. It is a good starting point for deeper research. I looked it over before I gave it to her and it is a very appealing book. It is full of illustrations that look like they would be hours of educational entertainment.

This book is fantastic for our homeschooling ventures. I gave it four stars because I wish the text had a little more informtation on some topics. The websites are a great extra. This is almost the only history text we have to use.

Beautiful illustrations

This is a beautifully illustrated history of the world. It's a bit dry, but if you can make it through, it gives one a good sense of perspective.

Great reference for home or school!

I'm a high school social studies teacher and encountered USBorne books at a teacher workshop. They are very informative and vibrant texts. The internet-linked versions are wonderful. They include numerous links that accessed through the USBorne website, not the book. This allows for dead links to be eliminated and new links to be added (even more than are mentioned in the book). The pictures are wonderful, colorful, and some illustrations can even be downloaded for classroom use. I'm very happy with this book and use it in the classroom.

Great general history book for young readers

My kids have loved this book. We are using it for the Sonlight Curriculum for level 6 & 7 for my 10 year old homeschooler. It is a great outline with lots and lots of wonderful pictures. The chronological approach has helped my son put pieces of history in place.

This is NOT a comprehensive text. It is an excellent supplement or overview, but is not designed to cover the details. The beautiful pictures have helped drive my son to other sources to learn more about particular events.
