Story of the World, by Susan Wise Bauer, is an awesome history program. Told
in a straight-forward, engaging style that has become Susan Wise Bauer’s trademark.
It covers the sweep of human history from ancient times until present. This
read-aloud series is designed for parents to share with elementary-school children, or for older readers to enjoy alone. Each of the four volumes is also available CD for your children to listen to independently
while coloring the activity sheet or following along in the book. Each lesson
also includes geography/map work pertaining to the history being studied. My
kids love it and can’t wait to “do history” every day. It also
helps their history challenged mom to learn right along with them.
