5.0 out of 5 stars Great homeschooling resource for ages 6-12, October 14, 2008

This review is from: Ancient World: Internet Linked (World History) (Paperback)

We use this book in conjunction with My Father's World Creation to the Greeks curriculum. I already owned the thicker, larger, more comprehensive "Ancient World" from Usborne and thought we would just use that in this book's place, but found it was not as child-friendly and easy to read. The difference was enough to lead me to purchase this version. It has been a great addition for us, giving us just enough information for the subjects we are covering when used in conjunction with other resources. If we want to know even more, then we can move on to the larger text (my 12 year old is inclined to do this). Otherwise, this book is perfect for our needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for getting started on the topic, February 24, 2009

This review is from: Ancient World: Internet Linked (World History) (Paperback)

At first glance, it seemed an overly brief and cursory overview of ancient civilization as it only spends a couple of pages per civilization and/or empire. My son who is in second grade, on the other hand, really enjoyed it and wanted to read it multiple times. All in all, it is a great book for getting started on the topic and will encourage further exploration in depth by supplementing with other substantial books and/or DVDs on each ancient civilization/ empire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well with Tapestry Of Grace curriculum, February 23, 2010

This review is from: Ancient World: Internet Linked (World History) (Paperback)

We accidentally bought this book instead of the other larger book for use with Tapestry of Grace Year 1 homeschool curriculum. We had to go ahead and buy the thicker, more detailed book for my 3rd-4th grade students but kept this one on the shelf. We found that the Tapestry recommended reading for the K-2nd levels was a very sparse and this book, although not on their lesson plans or listed as a supplement, filled the bill nicely!
