 Great Accompaniment September 2, 2010
beautybeen (Santa Barbara, CA)
I bought this book with the "text" book and test booklet. I love the activities in this book! The oral questions are very good in reinforcing what has been read. I usually ask the review questions while my daughter is coloring the included pictures or maps. I highly recommend this activity book as it is an enjoyable way to study a very interesting curriculum.
A tiny error on Page 33. July 21, 2010

For those of you who use the book, there seems to be a minor error on Page 33. The question asked is: "The Chinese first settled in many small villages. Do you remember the name of the emperor who united them into one empire?" The answer provided in italics is "Huang Di", which translated, is not a name but a title, and in this case, "sovereign emperor".
Actually, Emperor Qin Shi Huang, born as Ying Zheng in 259 BC, was the son of the king of the Qin State. Ying Zheng unified and subjugated all the states like Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi by the power of the Qin State, thereafter building the first feudal and centralised empire in Chinese history in 221 BC. Today, he is famous for the Great Wall and the Terracotta warriors and horses (even in Epcot, Orlando Disneyworld). When Ying Zheng unified China, he considered his achievement surpassing the legendary "San Huang (three emperors)" and "Wu Di (five sovereigns)", so he created a new title for himself: "Huangdi" together with "Shi (the first)", giving rise to the name "Qin Shi Huang" or "Qin Shi Huangdi", which means he was the first emperor of China. Later generations called him "Qin Shi Huang".
Very often, in Mandarin Chinese, the name comes before the title, unlike in the West, where one would call the monarch of England, for instance, "Queen Elizabeth" (not "Elizabeth Queen") which is probably what caused the confusion. To some, this might seem like splitting hairs, but if you speak Mandarin, it is like saying that the name of the emperor who united China is "Mr." I think very highly of this book for its layout, coverage and engaging activities and hope my entry has been helpful.
Love this activity book May 4, 2010
Lisa M. Cheney (Los Angeles, CA)
This activity book is equally matched to the narrative book. The hands-on activities are exciting, easy, fun, appropriate to the portion of history they represent. I'm so glad the author/editor did this work for me/us.
large good book March 17, 2010
H. Bonifield
This book is quite large but good. It has neat crafts to do for each chapter of the correlating book. I especially like the recipes in it. Also some nice map work , comprehension questions & coloring pages. Not great for really young kids but 2nd ish grade is just fine, maybe younger depending on how much of the book you use. I love that this book gives you things to do that are hands on, which helps reenforce what you are reading and I'm not left wondering what to do for an activity. If you are using the story book that goes with this one and want more, this is a nice thing to buy.
Must Have February 3, 2010

You must have the Activity Book if you are going to use SoTW. There are some fun activity's that we did - like build the pyramid - a must and easy too.
There are also tons of extra books recommend to read. Most of them were at our local library so it is not like you will have to spend any extra money on purchasing extra books.
