We came across this book years ago when our oldest children were young (we have 10 children 30 years to 10 years). Sometime in their elementary grades each child would discover this book on the shelf, read the stories and eagerly come paraphrase them to me. I assume the grandchildren are next to discover the books. Now we buy copies and give them as gifts to families with children 3rd - 7th grades. I don't know why it needs to be limited to those ages!

I had to read this for schoool last year, and I couldn't put it down!! The history of a lot of stuff is in here, and its worth every cent you pay for it. Highly Reccomended!!
Thought Provoking and Biased
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Overall a good book but made me question historical accuracies. The book says that scicence oppressed certain scientific discoveries which I thought were oppressed by certain established religions of history. Good book and worth a read, especially if you like science history.
