I loved this book in l936 when I was in the third grade., April 12 1998
By PINEYOK@MSN.COM - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Child's History of the World (Hardcover)
I am almost 70 years old and have never forgotten how much I enjoyed it when my third grade teacher read it to our class a chapter at a time along about l936. I now have 7 grandchildren and recently was able to find and purchase a used copy . This book gave me a sense of the history of the world at a very young age and I hope it will do the same for them. I rank it in the top five books I have ever read.

Prevented me from ever thinking of history as boring., Mar 18 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Child's History of the World (Hardcover)
I was enrolled in the Calvert homeschooling program, and this text made history my favorite subject. The author didn't bleed all the interesting parts out. He wasn't afraid of religion or race (concepts that drove so much of history). Whenever I hear of subjects such as Constantine or the French Revolution, it's what I read in "The Child's History of the World" that comes back to me (much of it stuff I've never heard mentioned elsewhere). When I got to high school and went to a public school, the history texts were pathetic.

Fabulous!, Aug 19 2000
By Maria - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Child's History of the World (Hardcover)
This book is a true classic which our whole family enjoys. It sparks the imagination in a way that only few books can. I recommend this book to everyone and it should be included as required reading at the elementary or even junior high level. One thing you should realize is that this is a book without a lot of "fluff", no color drawings, etc., but still better than the majority of newer discussions of history. I didn't find it to be either pro-Christianity or anti-Christianity.
Listmania!
