We look through this together and compete on who can find things first. To me, the bathhouse picture on p 16 and 17 was not offensive in the least. I like that he learns a little bit of history this way by trying to find the items in the historical scenes. I'd like to find even more books like this.

Edit 7/29/2010: he's continued to love this book and want to search for things in it EVERY NIGHT for months now. Definitely worth the purchase.

This is a must have for a long road trip. The kids enjoy seeing who can find the pictures first. and, it is not just a seek and find book with a picture and you find it. Each item you have to find has a description so the children are actually learning also. The book is bigger than your average size book. I'll admit to playing with the book by myself a time or two. Def. worth the money.

We bought this book for our bright, inquisitive 7 year old last Christmas. Now it's June, and I think she's done at least one picture puzzle almost every night since then. She loves the many historical puzzles. Her 5 year old sister loves the dinosaur puzzles. In my elder daughter's words, "It's got a lot of interesting information and it's really amusing. Also it's good for long car trips because kids can entertain themselves quietly." As a parent, I couldn't agree more! What a fun introduction to different historical(and prehistorical) periods, different cultures, and some geography. I find it completely appropriate and utterly inoffensive. I'd be delighted to give this to any curious 4 to 9 year old.
