Book Reviews of The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child: Volume 1: Ancient Times: From the Earliest Nomads to the Last Roman Emperor, Revised Edition
Book Review: All the bits that primary schools miss.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am home educating my children and first learned of this book through 'Well Trained Mind". It is designed for use with children aged about 6 (American first grade). The book is a chronological, narrative account of History from the first nomads through to the last Roman emporer. There are a few black and white line illustrations - so not exactly Dorling Kindersley and there are lots of questions contained in the narrative so that it sounds a bit like a Witness study text but apart from that is very engaging and makes sense of the rather fragmentary history studied in UK primary schools. The book is supposed to be used as the basis for a history curriculum supported by other texts (Kingfisher, Usborne), blackline maps and an activity book. Many of my peers have complained to me that they have an incomplete picture of the chronology of history. With this book you can learn (along with your child) how all the pieces fit together.
