Peace Hill Press, 2002

This is a winner for our family

+ A lovely introduction for children to world history
+ Greatest History Book Ever

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 ...

If I Were a Kid in Ancient China: Children of the Ancient World (If I Were a Kid in. . .)1 review
Cobblestone Publishing

Cricket Books, 2007

Good content, weak on graphics

The content of this book did not disappoint me. It covers topics such as shopping, clothing, and religion. Unfortunately, the best pictures are on the cover. A lot of the pictures are almost like clip art or stylized designs, not images or drawings of real artifacts. This was rather ...

Lesley Dow, Susanna Addario

Time-Life Books, 1997

Sums it all up

This book is a great introduction and first "taste" of a vast subject, written for kids aged 5 to 12 (my personal estimation). It covers plant parts, processes, reproduction, flowers, and description of plant ecosystems in many different habitats and parts of the world, including a neat fold out ...

Informative and full of great ideas!

I love this book. Yes, much of the information can be found online, but I wouldn't have thought to look up some of these things. If you're already an experienced gardener, this book may be a waste of time, but if you're a beginner and want to get your kids involved, it's great for motivating ...

Great Resource

+ Great resource!
+ Coloring Ancient Greece

I use the Dover coloring books often as I home school. The kids are busy, quiet AND they listen. It really helps to reinforce the lessons when they color the same things that they are learning about. There is a Dover book for most major subjects!
