Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-As their titles indicate, these books are written specifically to help children complete their homework assignments. Therefore, they are best used as circulating materials and not as reference books. None of the material is presented in-depth and the books aren't meant to be used for reports, but in terms of answering specific questions, introducing concepts, or providing simple explanations they are competently done. All three volumes have thorough tables of contents that are easy to use; large print size and lots of white space; numerous charts, maps, and graphs; and color-coded sound bites of information. Each page has a handy sidebar that indicates what can be found and thus provides a shortcut for someone leafing through in search of an answer. The indexes are also complete. American History is enriched with colorful graphics and archival photos. Answers to the most commonly asked homework questions abound, and they are easily accessible and clearly stated.

Good book but did history stop in 1949?,
By Mary B. Champlin (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Everything You Need To Know About American History Homework (Everything You Need To Know..) (Paperback)
Both of my children have found this book (and others in the series) extremely helpful. The language is clear and concise. The illustrations and timelines are most helpful. I like the short biographies in each section about not well known, yet important people.I have the "Updated Edition, 1997" book. My one complaint is that this book's details and explanations of history stops at 1949. There have been many American history moments since then which are acknowledged in an appendix outline. However, many of these events deserve much more attention, like the history before 1949 gets. Shoot, the 1960's alone are a whole chapter! Maybe in the next edition the publisher could include details on the last 50 years.

Homeschooler's Blessing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Everything You Need to Know about American History Homework: 4th to 6th Grades (Paperback)
As a history buff, I loved this book. As a homeschooling veteran, I have only high praise for it's completeness and compactness. Again, to say that these books "Everything You Need" are excellent isn't enough!! I don't know how we taught without them!!!!
