I have been using this for my son who is in kindergarten for a couple months. He really enjoys it. As you read through the units, you record history events on a big time line which is nice for a visual. I like that this history book is biblical based. Some of it seems to go over my sons head, but he gets most of it. I would say this is a good starter history book for younger children kindergarten-2nd grade.

This book is an excellent introduction to some of the key concepts of history from a biblical perspective. I am using it with my 6 year old and she love her "history" book.

From the description, I thought I was getting a world history book, covering bits and pieces of things like ancient Egypt or ancient Greece, medieval times, etc., on up to present day, which also wove in Biblical history. However, this book turns out to be ONLY Biblical history from creation up through Jesus' life on earth, and then it's mostly the history of Christianity (famous Christians, the Reformation, etc.) up to now, with a smattering of US History thrown in. Which would have been fine if that's what I had wanted. But it wasn't, so I was disappointed that it didn't meet my needs. I will use a couple parts of it to supplement a different world history curriculum. I really like the time line discussion in the first chapter, for instance, which has the children draw a time line with creation at the beginning, Jesus at the middle, and Christ's return at the end. I intend to use another curriculum to fill in historical dates on this time line, however. Probably Sonlight Core 1.

I really like this book and the wording for my five year old. It is a little over her head but she understands most. I love the way it demonstrates that the bible is the beginning of history and uses that as the foundation for all of our experiences. Excellent.

I just started using it with my Kindergardener and we have progressed quickly through it. It keeps her interest and I like that there are verses from the Bible throughout. My daughter likes it too. SHe likes the coloring book and writing big words (in her words).
We are also studying Geography at the same time. So it works. I wouldn't use it by itself for Social Studies text. But it is an excellent addition.

Planning on using in the fall. The book looks great. The coloring book is very basic.

I love how much they use the bible and speak of God's creation in this book. Great for young kids to learn about God and the world we live in.

Great little book. Gives a good overview of God's Story throughout time. Can be a good introduction to Universal History for young children, or as part of a foundation for HisStory for all ages (as we did).
