This review is from: The Ancient Chinese (People of the Ancient World) (Paperback)
I home school a 5th-grader. I bought this book to help flesh-out the history lessons on China in The Mystery of History curriculum. I was pleased with the book overall. The reading level is not terribly difficult and there is a good balance of pictures and text. My daughter found it interesting.

This review is from: The Ancient Chinese (People of the Ancient World) (Paperback)
This is a good overview of ancient China. The accompanying photos and graphics are excellent. They also use both pin yin and phonetics to help you pronounce Chinese words. Wish it had gone a bit deeper into the various areas the book covers. We used it in our homeschool and were able to get a number of useful facts from it.
