It is a great story of mankind foremost - not a bunch of random facts that need to be memorized. <br /><br /><br />Thank you for welcoming me back and for your kind, kind words :-)<br /><br /><br />A big hug from Read Aloud Dad<br /><br /><br />Re: @4a1334f8d25cf86dcb2ff86e5e6ef2c7:disqusRead Aloud Dadhttp://www.readalouddad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-85756836570711610782013-02-26T04:05:18.834+01:002013-02-26T04:05:18.834+01:00Sold!

Thank you for the recommendation. I homeschool my 5 year old and 9 year old, and we love history. I know this will be a valued addition to our library. I missed you last year, Read Aloud Dad. I'm glad you're back to blogging. I always enjoy and appreciate your posts.Jean-Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-45463780076730034312013-01-20T20:08:59.253+01:002013-01-20T20:08:59.253+01:00Hi Howie,

Indeed, I've heard a lot about SBW's four-part series The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child ( http://amzn.to/SmVutC ). Alas, I've never held a copy in my hands. But any such book that is designed for reading aloud is a great idea in my book!<br /><br /><br /><br />I'd love to hear your thoughts after you compare the two books! <br /><br /><br />Read Aloud Dad<br /><br /><br />Re: @986ec48776624298507cd42fa8b0be74:disqusRead Aloud Dadhttp://www.readalouddad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-68340385472742228632013-01-20T16:30:06.231+01:002013-01-20T16:30:06.231+01:00Thanks for another great recommendation Read Aloud...Thanks for another great recommendation Read Aloud Dad. There is also The Story of the World series (4 parts) by Susan Bauer Wise. These books are designed for homeschooling families but are also great for reading aloud although they are barely illustrated (pencil sketchings). You can also purchase a separate activity book to go with the main text and an audio reading on CD. I have the first part (The Ancient World) and love it but I think my child is too young for it at the moment. Need to try this one as it may be simpler and hold attention more with the illustrations.Howienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-4163481592776985612013-01-18T01:09:59.117+01:002013-01-18T01:09:59.117+01:00You are most welcome Mary - and thank you so much ...You are most welcome Mary - and thank you so much for your kind words! <br /><br />It is indeed a worthy book and one of the most treasured additions to our home library.
