We checked this out of the library for our home school geography and history work. It is a fantastic resource! My 5th and 6th grade students were able to use the atlas independently to find cities, countries, and geographic regions involving Napoleon's conquests. Everything their curriculum told them to locate was in this atlas. We have two other juvenile historical atlases from Usborne and Nystrom (both fantastic as well) but this was more engaging to them and they stayed with it as a primary resource. It is bright, fun, easy to use, and as comprehensive as my children need it to be. I'm very pleased and will be ordering one for our shelf.One side note: I compared the different atlases by Kingfisher at the library and from what I could see, the Atlas of World History is a complete compilation of their other three individual atlases on various periods of history. If you're planning on doing extended study of history, this is a much better financial investment.
We found this book on our public library shelf and found it so useful in guiding our year of world history with our homeschooled 6th grade granddaughter that webought two copies, one for her home and one for ourselves. The book supported my belief that geography and history are intimately entwined because the land inspires the activities, locations, way of living.The authors provide an excellent and easy to understand presentation of major events across the globe, divided into ancient, medieval, exploration and modern periods. This helped us to organize our time, our thinking and to keep a global perspective.The format was easy on our eyes, offered an appropriate perspective that highlightedhuman evolution in clear language and light hearted illustrations with a sense ofeach era in each geographic location. We trusted this text all year long.Kathleen Zmuda
I didn't find this very useful and perhaps I shouldn't have thought it would be so for the price. The book is maps and pictures with notes on the margins. It is beautifully done and the timelines on each page are great. I was hoping seeing the maps and reading text together would help my visual learner grasp the material better. Because the content is limited to the edges or parts of the page, it doesn't go into depth. I wasn't expecting a deep dive, we can go online for that, but it was barely enough information to interest my child. We returned this and instead picked up the Kingfisher Geography and History Encyclopedias. This combo is working really well for us and worth the higher price point.
This has been such an amazing resource for us. We use Story of the World for History and my kids have loved adding this in with it. If your kids are visual learners, I highly recommend this!
As a history buff, myself! I wanted to add this book into our homeschool education. I was not disappointed. The colors are impressive on each page, the history is wonderful and the book is great quality. This is a big book, easy for kids to read, as well as, understand. We are currently using it in our ancient Egypt study. I love that we can use it for all of our history we will grow in knowledge with this Atlas!
This is a great pictorial atlas for early elementary children. I purchased it for my grandson who is home-schooled and studied the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine empires this year in his second grade curriculum. He was thrilled. The maps include drawings which bring history to life for younger children. There are time lines, photo inserts and an amazing amount of information on every page.
Every homeschool or home that hopes to bring the world into a child's scope should have this book. I actually showed it to several adults who are interested in it as well. It is filled with facts, maps and background information. This is an essential for our curriculum and I am thrilled that it is. It's so easy to work with and teaches things in a visual manner. I absolutely love this book.
This is a wonderful atlas. My kiddos love to look through it when we are doing history lessons and also during their free time. I leave it out on our coffee table and I have been pleasantly surprised at how often I see one or more of my kids looking through it. The pictures are colorful and very well done. Shipping was super quick and packaging was done well. It arrived perfectly.
