The day after I received this book I used one of the ready made activities in my fifth grade classroom. The kids loved it! I like the fact that it incorporates visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetics into teaching history. Also a great value - this book was twice the price at a local store.

Why just read about where people traveled? Make your own map of it! This is such a wonderful product, I wish there was one for World History so my children could visually follow Alexander the Great or Marco Polo on his journeys at younger ages.

This is not a difficult craft book, it is quite easy and well worth it. My 7 year old daughter loves it.

Great for kids and older Grandma's and Grandpa's who just want to review history, the part they didn't live, quickly before the grandkids start asking questions they don't have the answers to. Very informative.
