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: Great Content - it could have had bigger brighter pictures
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this book for my seven year old grandson. I know that it is normally used for homeschooling but I just bought it to read to him. When we read together I sometimes like the content to be educational. We like the stories and he learns something too. I wish the pictures were bigger and brighter, but other than that this is a great educational tool, because your child will enjoy the way history is explained in this book. If they go to public school they will probably recall the stories when they study it in school.

Summary 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

What terrible secret was buried in Shi Huangdi's tomb? Did nomads like lizard stew? What happened to Anansi the Spider in the Village of the Plantains? And how did a six-year-old become the last emperor of Rome?

Told in a straightforward, engaging style that has become Susan Wise Bauer's trademark, The Story of the World series covers the sweep of human history from ancient times until the present. Africa, China, Europe, the Americas-find out what happened all around the world in long-ago times. This first revised volume begins with the earliest nomads and ends with the last Roman emperor. Newly revised and updated, The Story of the World, Volume 1 includes maps, a new timeline, more illustrations, and additional parental aids.

This read-aloud series is designed for parents to share with elementary-school children. Enjoy it together and introduce your child to the marvelous story of the world's civilizations.
