• Good But Not As Good As The Book 15 October, 2008
This workbook is helpful and helps generate creative teaching ideas. However, I didn't find it as helpful as the actual history book itself. Good for people who needs ideas on how to make history fun and fresh for little kids.

• Great Resource!! 25 May, 2008
This book series is the perfect balance between a scripted, rigid history program and a completely unstructured approach to teaching history. I use it in a homeschooling history coop group with 6 girls, age 5-8. We have a great time. I use the study questions, we fill out the map, and then we do a craft. We enjoyed forming the Nile river with dirt and rocks, building an "ancient home" structure in the back yard, and creating hieroglyphics in clay. I like a lot of the books she recommends as supplements. We use the coloring pictures to add to our timeline we are creating that encircles our homeschooling room.
The coloring pictures are simple, but I think thats better for boys who sometimes are not into detailed coloring. I purchased some extra coloring books for my daughter who loves to color.
Finally, I am a devoted Christian who appreciates the flexibilty to add biblical content as I see fit.

• Great! 03 October, 2008
I am a home school mom of elementary aged children and this book is great. I do suggest you get the book that goes with it or you will be a little lost. This set together has been a wonderful asset to our school experience. It is an easy approach to teaching more than one age. Everyone is enjoying it - even me! There are maps that go along with each lesson which really give the kids a picture of where things took place, fun coloring pages and some word puzzles. The projects that go with each lesson have also been helpful. I find that there is enough info to choose from that I can easily pick what will work for us that lesson and leave out what won't and things still come together well. The kids are picking up tons of information and even more importantly, this book paints the big picture of ancient times and my kids are loving it!

• A Must-have Companion 19 July, 2008
This is a must-have for going through the Story of the World series. My favorite part is the "continued reading" recommendations. I'd suggest not trying to do all the activities. We started out that way and it was taking forever.
I do have her do the map exercises for every chapter and try to read at least one of the recommended books (often a fairy tale/myth/legend picture book about that time/culture). When she's very interested in a chapter, we'll spend more time and do a project or two and read more of the books.
