Rating:  - Maybe Anne and Kate should leave history text-writing to historians
I knew it was going to be bad when early on the Hebrews were listed among the Phoenicians, Hittites, and Persians as a major ancient civilization -- a write-up full of daft errors based solely on the Old Testament (like that the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt) despite no supporting archaeological evidence; or worse yet based on nothing at all (like that the Hebrews were monotheistic despite repeated references throughout the OT to other gods) .
Similarly, while the listed accomplishments ... Read More
Rating: - Beware! Historically inaccurate!
This book is loaded with historical inaccuracies! I can't imagine how Scholastic's editing department let this get by. You do not want to give this book to children without a knowledgeable adult standing by to correct it. Here are just two examples, both found on the same page. It says the Parthenon was built "in the fifth century A.D." It should have said B.C. or BCE. And it says that Athens and Sparta "were located on the Peloponnesian Peninsula." Actually, only Sparta is in the Peloponnese -- Athens is not.
Rating:  - Homeschooler's Blessing
Again, another wonderful resource book for homeschooling families and anyone who just want to know more. I have nothing but high praise for these books "Everything You Need to Know..." and highly recommend them.
Rating: - Great World History Review!
I bought this book because all of the other books that I found were about 400 pages. They weren't concise and to the point which, is what I needed. This book is only a mere 130 pages in length. The pages are all neatly color coded and range from Ancient History (4000BC-AD 500) to The Modern World (1700-Present). I used this book as an adult to review the major points in World History. It's really a book meant for a younger population (ages 9 and up) but, when you don't have that much time to study or really ... Read More
Rating: - Everything You Need to Know About World History
This book, though it is suggested reading for 4th to 6th graders, was helpful to me. Not only am I an adult, I am in the process of getting certified to teach high school social studies. It provided me the essentials that I must cover for any class (other than at the college level). The page layout is excellent; the variety in print type and color as well as maps and pictures made it a"fun" reading and learning experience. I highly recommend it for students, parents and social studies teachers.
