3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not what I expected, July 1, 2003

I thought this book would be like the other "Complete Book of..." series, like the Math, Science, Phonics, Money ones we have, or have seen. But, it is NOT! It is a wonderful resource book for world history, but NOT a workbook sort like the others, it has NO reproducible things, NO activities at all. It is nice for a timeline sort of book with the major events. If you are looking for a timeline resource book this should have 5 stars, but since it is not along the lines of the other Complete series I think it is misleading of the publishers.

I was absolutley delighted when this book arrived. It wasn't quite what I expected - it was far better!! It is not a workbook like the other books in the "Complete Book" series, but rather, a book for self-education and reading enjoyment. It covers world history from the beginning to the present, in language that is just right for the Grade 4 to 8 age groups. Each page has colour pictures to add to the attractiveness of the book, and each open spread is a complete lesson in itself. If you want to give your children a good general knowledge of the world, its people, and what has gone on in all the ages before they were born, then this is the book for them. I'm so glad I bought this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars This was too hard for my 4th grader, December 1, 2007

I bought this book to homeschool my 4th grader, and it was too difficult for him. I switched to the US History book from the same series, and that is working much better. If your child is an average student, then this book is more appropriate for grades 6-8 than the 4-8 listed.
As far as the series goes, I like the big pictures and the small sections. They make is easier to keep my child interested. I don't like that there are no test questions or real ways to see what he is retaining. I am having to create my own activities to go along with it and make my own tests and suppliment with library books, which is all very time consuming.
