5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!, March 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Usborne Time Traveler (Hardcover)

This book is recommended for ages 9-12, but my 6-year-old ate it up and my 4-year-old enjoyed it too. I bought it because my girls are going through a knights and castles thing, and this was recommended as a good place to learn about them. I thought we'd just read that section and put it on the shelf until the other subjects came up. Well my 6-year-old saw things differently. She loves this book. She loves the way it is laid out and what she is learning from it. She had no interest in Vikings or Romans or Egyptians before this, but now she wants more on all these topics. And it is a fun book for me to read too. It is reminding me of things I hadn't learned since I was a child, and the diagrams are so clear that maybe I am learning things better than I did when I was a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical book for kids with and interest in history, November 23, 2009

By	I. Smith - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Usborne Time Traveler (Hardcover)

When I was boy in the 1980s this book was my absolute favourite. At the time it was only available as four seperate paperbacks, but I must have signed each one out of the library ten times! The diagrams and illustrations are jam-packed with information. I used to love books with a great deal of detail, and this one exemplifies that approach.

It is a MUST-BUY if you have a child with even a passing interest in history!
