3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not what I expected, July 1, 2003

By	LSNelson (Concord, California United States) - See all my reviews

I thought this book would be like the other "Complete Book of..." series, like the Math, Science, Phonics, Money ones we have, or have seen. But, it is NOT! It is a wonderful resource book for world history, but NOT a workbook sort like the others, it has NO reproducible things, NO activities at all. It is nice for a timeline sort of book with the major events. If you are looking for a timeline resource book this should have 5 stars, but since it is not along the lines of the other Complete series I think it is misleading of the publishers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Junior World History Book, June 28, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase

I was absolutley delighted when this book arrived. It wasn't quite what I expected - it was far better!! It is not a workbook like the other books in the "Complete Book" series, but rather, a book for self-education and reading enjoyment. It covers world history from the beginning to the present, in language that is just right for the Grade 4 to 8 age groups. Each page has colour pictures to add to the attractiveness of the book, and each open spread is a complete lesson in itself. If you want to give your children a good general knowledge of the world, its people, and what has gone on in all the ages before they were born, then this is the book for them. I'm so glad I bought this book.

I was a little disappointed that the book did not have any reading comp. questions to help you follow thru with what you had read. The book itself is full of great facts and events, but I felt it would have been better if they would have added some review or comp questions.
