This review is from: Prehistory to Egypt: Journey Through History (Paperback)

Truthfully, I was a little disapointed with this. I am homeschooling my 6 yr old daughter and we are doing a unit on "cavemen" before we start history studies with the ancient Egyptians. This book is thin. Physically as well as in content. A much better choice is the Make It Work series - Stone Age. I got this book because it was for a younger age range than most books about the Stone Age, which have an age range of 9-12. That was the mistake. Even at age 6 my kid understands the higher age range books. True, I had to explain some words and paraphrase some passages, but isn't that part of teaching. My advise is don't get dumbed downed books. Get books that are well written and interesting. The explanations you have to give are where alot of learning takes place.
