Book Review: This is it?
Summary: 1 Stars

This book came highly recommended by some homeschool families that I know. I couldn't imagine basing an entire curriculum off of this book, even for elementary ages. I really struggle with the way that Bauer treats religion in the book, not just the Judeo-Christian stories, but also the religions of the other civilizations.
I feel that this book belongs in 'Historical Fiction' rather being used as a primary text book. Other reviewers have pointed out that she has admitted to moving dates around and changing historical evidence to suit her needs, she also creates conversations to tell the stories, which are considered tools of 'historical fiction', not of textbook writing.
I can't fully express how disappointed I am in this book, and how much more disappointed I am in its success.
I decided to take my kids to the library, check out books about the civilizations we were studying, and find some activity books or activities online to do with them. They'll get exposed to much better writing and much better information.

The Story of the World CD audiobook is a collaboration between Jim Weiss, whose voice is "liquid gold" (CNN TV), and Susan Wise Bauer, whose writing has been described as "timeless and intelligent" (Publishers Weekly). These spirited readings of the first volume in Bauer's history series bring to life the stories and records of human history from ancient times to the present.

Written in an engaging, straightforward manner, this volume of the popular Story of the World series weaves world history into a storybook format. The first volume begins with the ancient nomads and ends with the last Roman emperor.

This audio CD edition may be used along with the print books, as a supplement to a traditional history curriculum, or independently. 6 audio CDs.
