We found this to be a valuable read-aloud book on history. It does an excellent job of weaving together the history of various parts of the world. Each chapter begins with nice line art of "people who were living when...and some events that took place between..." The other illustrations in the book are equally well done and well to the stories being told.The book is far more than a well written account of history, however. As much as it is about history, it is also about religion. Depending on your view, this could be a natural inclusion of a very important part of history. The one glaring drawback, and the only reason I did not award it 5 stars, is that it's not written from a Christian, or even a neutral, perspective. In subtle, and some not so subtle, ways it puts forth the view that all religions are the same and ultimately built on what historically came before them. On page 150, the author writes, "And through all those centuries of change, whether they worshipped Him as one God or as many, the have been guided by the same eternal and unchanging spirit. "For it is only man's idea of God that changes."These passages gave us an opportunity to discuss this sort of universalism, but there were so many of them it became tiresome. Still it is a well designed compilation of history if you're willing to engage in the side discussions and/or do some editing.

My 12 year old daughter was assigned to read this during 6th grade in her homeschool studies. A couple of weeks ago, she was reading the book again. I asked her why she was re-reading a school book, and she replied that it was so good, she wanted to read it again. How many assigned books are that good?
