The Complete Book of World History

We are happy with the book. Sure it doesn't cover EVERYTHING, but it gives us places to start that can be hard to find with other resources. Anything we want to explore further we can find by surfing the web or getting it at the library. We like to have a library for our 6 year old that has a little bit of everything, then we go from there. The book fits the bill.

I was a little disappointed that the book did not have any reading comp. questions to help you follow thru with what you had read. The book itself is full of great facts and events, but I felt it would have been better if they would have added some review or comp questions.

I was absolutley delighted when this book arrived. It wasn't quite what I expected - it was far better!! It is not a workbook like the other books in the "Complete Book" series, but rather, a book for self-education and reading enjoyment. It covers world history from the beginning to the present, in language that is just right for the Grade 4 to 8 age groups. Each page has colour pictures to add to the attractiveness of the book, and each open spread is a complete lesson in itself. If you want to give your children a good general knowledge of the world, its people, and what has gone on in all the ages before they were born, then this is the book for them. I'm so glad I bought this book.

this is a very good book, it covers so much more then they even teach in the public schools.

Well done book. Gives just enough information for my 4th grader to be a good "extra" text - and ties in with other things that happened about the time of the entry, so they can research related topics. My 4th grader is really enjoying this one!
