Book Review: A Good Start in World History
Summary: 4 Stars

The Story of the World: Ancient Times is a good book for children - indeed families - to use in their journey to learn about history. Although mainly designed for primary-aged children, it is good for any age child to gain knowledge about how people left their nomadic lives and spread across the whole world thousands of years ago.

The text is deliberately written to be read aloud to younger children, while older children can read the text themselves (each chapter being only a few pages long). However, reading to older children then allowing them to read the text is a good way to get children used to reading history textbooks before high school. The style is light and there are just enough facts for students to take in, and astound you with what they have learned.

Overall, a good "starter" history book for pre-teen children.
