Amazon.com review
From Columbus boyhood to his discovery voyage; John Cabot, Henry Hudson, William Penn, Ben Franklyn, Washington, Jefferson, Daniel Boone, Fulton, Morse and the Telegraph, Lincoln, Civil War, Spanish War, Great Expositions, Panama Canal to the purchase of Alaska... this small volume of history is, incredible! I was looking for history to supplement our 5th grade curriculum, and thank goodness for amazon.com search engines or I may never have discovered this gold. Each chapter concludes with 4-5 open ended questions, along with pronunciations and definitions of 2-3 words from the chapter. The chapter's read as though you were peaking in a window, and then following the characters around, and enjoying it. It's great. I read a couple chapters to my own 7 year old, and he loved it. I told him (using the 4/5 questions) what he would he learn from it, i.e. You'll learn where Christopher Columbus was born, etc.; then I read the chapter, followed with the questions and he did as well as my students. I've been discouraged by the presentation of textbooks, for students of all grades, when it comes to history. I decided to "read" to my students from their textbooks and other sources (such as this one)because history, afterall, is storytelling! So I strongly recommend to teachers, parents, homeschoolers, and students to add a book such as this one to your library, and see the times as they were, the people, the places, the food, the importance of events as they happened, and read, read, read this one. Another selection for those interested in more adventurous people,want more of the same, get Stories of Great Americans for Little Americans, by Eggleston, and read up more on Washington,Franklyn,in their youth along with Daniel Boone, Daniel Webster, Longfellow, Kit Carson and Horace Greeley. It's fun and exciting for all to read, you'll see. The true shame today, is how many good books, older than 10 and 20 years ago, are considered OLD... when it comes to education & history, I think the older, the more true, and the better... how about you!
