Review: A fine history resource - "The Story of the World" is world history simplified for small children. The author recommends using the text as a starting point, and pairing it with other texts such as "The Usborne Encyclopaedia of World History". With these two (very important) caveats in place, I cannot praise this series highly enough. The text is accessible and covers world history broadly and with a focus on relevance to society today. Some bogus reviews accuse the author of religious bias: this is simply not true. World religions and mythology are treated fairly and respectfully. What is true is that this book begins at circa 7000BC. At NO POINT does the author claim the world began in 7000BC (or that the world was created in seven days or any other religious belief) this is simply the point at which the book begins. (Indeed "The Usborne Encyclopaedia of World History", which we remember the author recommends, puts the creation of the Earth at 4550000000BC.) If you are a Young Earth Creationist, this book will neither support nor refute your beliefs. If you are not a Creationist, this book will still neither support nor refute your beliefs. This is simply a history book which starts at 7000BC. If you are desperate to teach your five year old child about human history before 7000BC, you'll need another book ("The Usborne Encyclopaedia of World History" is excellent, but Creationists should look to their Bibles). This series is a good story to tell children to kindle their interest in history. It covers major periods in history, world-wide and in roughly chronological order (making it easier to make sense of trends and consequences). A timeline is given in the back of the book to assist with learning.
Review: Good facts for wise children - Lovely book for little minds. It is true to fact, interesting and simplified for little brains. My little girl is eight and she is studying Ancient Egypt and Israel at elementary school - this really helps her to connect the dots and expands on school text books. The author has also introduced some made up characters (like a little stone age girl) which make it easier for children to relate to historical events of thousands of years ago. Very well thought out and written. (I am learning too!!)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This really is alive, living history
*by J***L on 10 May 2017*

We love this. Listen in the car with our five year old, he laps it up but there is plenty I am learning and captivated by. My husband thinks there is a bias towards a Christian centric world view, with the history of Old Testament areas, I haven't heard those tracks but totally forgive it for tyre wealth of info. I love the story of the discovery of silk, I can just see the Empress having picnic lunch and unwinding the cocoon that fell in her tea. This really is alive, living history.
