This review is from: The Great History Search (Great Searches) (Paperback)

This is the 2nd book in this series I have purchased. This is a great book, though I prefer the World Tour book over this one. This is mostly because I was expecting something else. I was expecting a book detailing events in history. This book goes though various times in history:

Early people - 15,000 B.C.
First Farmers
Living in Cities
Pyramids
Going into Battle
At the market
The Bath House
Winter Feasts
Village Life
Castle Life
Inca Homes
A Chinese Party
Indian Wedding

Busy Ports
At the Ball
Factory Town
Prairie Homes
Deparment Stores - 1930's

The book is well done - colorfully illustrated and fun for all ages - from my 4 and 9 year old, to myself! Each page has about 20 things for you to find, in a search and find style, and a short description or explanation of each item and how it relates to the time period. All in all, it's an excellent series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and also instructive, February 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Great History Search (Great Searches) (Paperback)

Detailed illustrations of lives of people in various periods. Illustrations are quite fun to see. Close up of characteristic figures are closed up with descriptions.

I bought this book for my 10-year-old son, who loves to play "Age of Empire" and becomes curious about history. He loves it because of the closed up pictures even though he can't read English yet. The illustrations convey the atmosphere of each age well.

This review is from: The Great History Search (Great Searches) (Paperback)

This series is wonderful. Very entertaining for children to find the picture but the education that goes along with this is magnificent! The Great History Search leaves hours of entertainment for the entire family and really sparks the History curiosity in the child. This book is my 10 year olds favorite in the series. The illustrations are very detailed and get those little minds thinking.
