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

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good as a supliment, April 6, 2009

By	R. Johnson "Book-loving Mom" (IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We used this book as part of the Sonlight curriculum for 1st and 2nd grades. My son loved this book; it brought history to life for him, and made it more exciting. It wasn't my favorite, but it really added fun to the course and my son's enthusiasm made the whole lesson more fun.
