5.0 out of 5 stars Very convenient "teaching" tool, September 5, 2005

By	Homeschooler "Liz" (Texas) - See all my reviews

My 12 year old son loves listening to the CD. He doesn't even consider it school work and I would guess that he is learning a whole lot more than he would from a text book. It is a wonderful overview of history.
