A Child's History of the World: Original Illustrated Edition Review: Great book to get your kids to enjoy history. - We used the newer paper back version for our homeschooling a couple years ago, but it just one of those books my kids love to pick up off the shelf and read random short chapters of or fall asleep with. Our copy was falling apart with tape all over it and I saw a good price on the hard back and went for it. Glad I did I’m sure it will passed down. Review: Good Base Narrative History for Mid-Elementary Level Kids - I am three-quarters of the way through the text, working it in as a narrative to our homeschool history studies over the course of two years (third and fourth grade)....so, we use this as a base narrative and supplement A LOT with library books, other reference books we own, our own research and independent studies. We enjoy the highly-readable text, and we frequently pause to talk about and then spend time researching specific aspects in more depth. This book works well as a base, not the be-all-end-all for history. I don't think any book fitting the bill for elementary-level narrative style could (or should) be comprehensive, so you'll naturally see gaps and bents in the narration. Nothing that worries me, though. It's enjoyable to read, does not contain fundamentalist religious views, nor conflicts with our Christian beliefs, fits with a Charlotte Mason style of teaching and lines up with our wish to be (nearly) historically factual. I find it valuable to show children how history can't be understood or gleaned from one, or just a few, sources....so, again, we use this as only one part of our study of history. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CMPGZHTH | | Best Sellers Rank | #104,522 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Children's Prehistory Fiction #27 in Children's Historical Fiction on Ancient Civilizations #293 in Children's History | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (534) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.74 x 9 inches | | ISBN-13 | 979-8866560363 | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 327 pages | | Publication date | November 5, 2023 | | Publisher | Independently published | | Reading age | 6 - 11 years, from customers | ## Images ![A Child's History of the World: Original Illustrated Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713hLSuV4-L.jpg) ![A Child's History of the World: Original Illustrated Edition - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+S3P7yAHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book to get your kids to enjoy history. *by A***R on March 19, 2026* We used the newer paper back version for our homeschooling a couple years ago, but it just one of those books my kids love to pick up off the shelf and read random short chapters of or fall asleep with.

It gives just enough information to bring about an interest in the child to learn more about a certain topic without giving too much that it becomes long and drawn out. Even though this is not narrated with a Biblical worldview, I found it to be helpful in establishing a timeline for some of the most important events in history. It's stories are short and to the point. If the readings are shared with a mature Christian, a Biblical worldview can always be interjected as needed. It may be a great way to begin critical reading skills. All in all, I feel that it can be useful as a spine for your history curriculum. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Child's History of the World: Original Illustrated Edition - This Country of Ours: The Story of the United States Volume 1: H.
