My Thoughts:

I like that this is simple for young readers yet filled with good information that is easy to understand. I love history and I love how this is presented in this book.

This would be great for any Christian school resource. I am planning on using this in my homeschool this year. I look forward to sharing it with my children.

There are other books in this series also. I was very pleased with this book and would highly recommend this book.
