I like this book. One must carefully considering the first chapter before reading it to his/her child, however, overall this is a good resource. The author is clever, and writes in such a way as to hold the reader or listener's attention.

I am a Christian and absolutely LOVE this resource. I got it through Sonlight, and was not scheduled to read the first one or two chapters. I was curious as to why, and when I reviewed it, realized why. The book does begin with the big bang theory. But we didn't read that chapter with the kids. That aside, it is a wonderful book- those theories are not threaded throughout the entire book. The history is given as if the author were sitting with the child, talking with him about it. It's a joy to read.

So far we are loving this book! We started a timeline(nothing very formal, just index cards with a picture relating to every chapter). My son is doing so well, and seems to look forward to history with this. I love the way the book is written, it is friendly like another person posted. It's definitely a great tool for teaching world history.

I bought this book for our Sonlight curriculum thinking that it would have Christian bias, however I was thoroughly disappointed by the content. It seems to be written from a very non-christian viewpoint and conflicts bliblical teaching, which I consider to be error. After looking over this book my husband and I have decided not to use this book with our children.
