Pages of History Set
Publisher/Author
Veritas Press
Other Information
Level: k-6
Description
“Pages of History: Volume One, Secrets of the Ancients and Volume Two, Blazing New Trails are hardcover books that use a time-travel story approach to cover world history. The books function like chapter books because of the underlying story of time travelers James and Lance and the predicaments in which they find themselves. Our heroes are joined by talking birds and cats and other odd characters. These “unhistorical” characters plus the time travel device make for lively story telling rather than dry history. Both books are well written and should make great read-aloud stories for the family while they also teach a great deal of history.
The colorful covers on the hardcover editions and occasional black-and-white illustrations add visual interest, while the relatively large font and layout of the text itself makes it easy on the eyes. Children about fourth grade and up should be able to read the books themselves.” – Cathy Duffy Reviews

“Edward Eggleston wrote this little book in 1895, and our second graders love it. We thought we would publish it so everyone could enjoy it! We have included Eggleston’s original illustrations and added some additional ones as well. Eggleston says in his preface that “the primary aim of this book is to furnish the little learner reading matter that will excite his attention and give him pleasure” and “to make the mind of the pupil familiar with some of the leading figures in the history of our country by means of personal anecdote.” Students will be introduced to Washington, Franklin, Audubon, and more.” – Memoria Press

The History of the Ancient World
Publisher/Author
Susan Baur
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history.
Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This old-fashioned narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”―literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts―to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them.” – Amazon
