 Not Your Normal Boring History Text March 10, 2010
R. Porter (IN USA)
My kids and I just started this book and love it. They actually like it when I read it to them and hate that we stop after every section. It reads like a story which makes it more exciting than reading the basic cut and dry facts that most history books are loaded with.
AWESOME reading history book for young kids!! March 8, 2010
Riana S. Devoile
Just bought volumes 1-3 and love love love this series so far! It explains subjects such as 'history' and 'archaeology' in terms that a 6 or 7 year old could EASILY understand. It puts history and culture into story form that is interesting to a young child. I've been reading out loud to my 5 and 7 year olds and they are enraptured by the stories!! Love that it is so simple and FUN!
It works. And we like it. February 17, 2010

My first grader asks me to read from this book. So that makes it kid approved in our house. I appreciate the new formatting over the old edition--the design easily delineates between history, legend and myth stories. When I want to explain the Bible stories, though, I turn to the Bible or to other trusted narratives on the Bible. I have chosen to supplement this book with a stronger Biblical worldview with the "Mystery Of History" series.
Good reader January 11, 2010
Lakota J. Myers (Southeast Missouri)
I like the reader for these stories. She could put a little more genuine emotion into it, though. She speaks with emotion, but it is the same cadence and emotion for each story, mostly. Using the audio makes it easier for us to get our homeschool history lessons in when we need to be away from home, or with kids who are reluctant to listen to Mom read aloud.
The intro and "outro" music is a little loud and annoying, however. Not having heard the Jim Weiss versions, I wonder if they ever changed that? At any rate, I often find myself trying to catch it before the intro to the next chapter and turning it down or off, to save my ears.
Still a good and useful product which I would recommend.
