Customer Reviews

What a find!

I ordered this book to use along with "Story of the World vol 1." My only regret is I wish I had found it sooner. Every time I want to elaborate on something specific or need a picture to make the lesson more interesting for my seven year old this book is there to save the day. It even gives us project ideas: we made the wax writing board it talked about in the Roman Empire section. I am so happy with this book I'm going to order more from the Time-Life student library collection.

excellent home library source

I purchased the Time Life Student Library series for my nieces and nephew, one set for their home library, and then donated a set to their school library. The books are well written, beautifully illustrated, and do not "talk down" to children. The books address timely issues and interests.

My daughter couldn't put it down!

This is a visually appealing, information-packed reference book. Special features such as "Would You Believe?" and "Try It!" appear on every page, inviting kids to really interact with the words and pictures. I bought this book for my 11-year old to write a report about Egypt, and found her also engrossed with Greece, China, India, and the Roman Empire. She even showed me how to write her name in hieroglyphs! I am so pleased to have found a book that got her excited about learning.
