He loves it and is learning!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Book For Every Family to Own! Absorbing Narrative With Lavish Illustrations *by D***E on August 10, 2023* I've never recommended a book to everyone, every family, but I do for this marvelous, exciting book. This large and hefty tome devotes its space to a sweeping history of the world, in language basic enough for kids in elementary school to understand, but interesting enough to hold the attention of all ages. Its many vivid graphics ( the pages are about 70% illustrations) helped me to to get a "you are there" feeling, as if I was living in ancient Greece or dozens of other places and eras. It provides diversion as well as education--of course, not covering any country or civilization with any depth. It's a historical smorgasbord, which creates a yearning for a second bite of a myriad of specific topics. The price is very reasonable., and it's great fun to browze through. The book's condition was excellent. It was not damaged in shipment, as some reviewers had cautioned about. ## Frequently Bought Together - National Geographic Ultimate Visual History of the World: The Story of Humankind From Prehistory to Modern Times - History of the World Map by Map (DK History Map by Map) - History Year by Year: The Ultimate Visual Guide to the Events that Shaped the World (DK Year by Year) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/290686596-national-geographic-ultimate-visual-history-of-the-world-the-story](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/290686596-national-geographic-ultimate-visual-history-of-the-world-the-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
