Homeschool Moms Review
This book has been a favorite of my kids for years! The book contains crisp, colorful pages. I purchased the hard cover version (a tad pricier than the soft bound version) and despite almost daily use, the book remains in excellent shape. I fully expect it to last through all the kids.
We are currently using the book in conjunction with The Story of the World but you could easily use this book by itself for a free/low cost history curriculum. Sonlight also uses this book for their level 6 and 7 programs.
An excellent reference book, this is a must have for the home library!
