This, for us, has turned out to be an excellent introduction to historical time for our 3+ year old son. Each segment introduces, very, very simply, an aspect of life at different stages of history.Our son has learnt to draw distinctions between "long ago", "long, long ago" and "long, long, long ago". He also likes reciting it in different voices, as he has memorized the whole book, as he insists on having it read to him most every night.This is, perhaps, the only "history" book that a 3 or 4 year old could glimmer on to.
Educational, fun, but not a great attention keeper...

Each page of this book has holes in it, showing items through it that become something else on the next page. This book has small, cute, educational, rhyming descriptions on every other page, discussing Dinosaurs, the Stone Age, the Vikings, the Middle Ages, and the Elizabethans. I thought this book would be fun, but it did not hold my childs interest (Age 4). I think the topics, with the exception of the dinosaurs, are too advanced for children 4-7.
