We listen to this CD in the car. My boys, ages 6 & 8, clamor for Story of the World even before they are buckled into their seats. Jim Weiss has a distinctive voice that not everyone (my Mom) finds enjoyable to listen to, but the stories are good and his narration well-done, and as I told my Mom, his voice really does grow on you - so if you don't enjoy it at first listen, hang in there - these CDs are well worth it!

Loved this series before, but with the audio, it is great for auditory learners. The recordings are done very well.

We are so pleased with these CDs. We read the book last year for my 11 yr. old's homeschooling so this is cementing what we already learned. He loves it and plays it during playtime, breakfast, and lunch! A great way to learn. Also, my 4 year old is hearing it as well as my husband and I. I highly recommend it.

My kids (8 & 9 yrs old) are absolutely glued to the story telling of Jim Weiss. He reads "The Story of the World" with such incredible enthusiasm you almost feel as if you were living through the stories yourself. We travel a lot & listen in the car. My kids can't get enough! Thank-you for bringing out this awesome book/cirriculum on CD! Enjoy!
