Great history book。 My favorite part was the timeline on the bottom of each page。

Very neat book。 There are， of course， so many decisions going into making a book like this。 One I found interesting was that the 1918 pandemic wasn't mentioned。 This books is VERY -U。S。 -centered， but provides a decent frame of reference for time and timing of historical events。 Something I talk with my students about a lot is time as a point of reference and understanding where historical events fit in the span of time。 I think this book can help them start to create that in their brains。 Very neat book。 There are， of course， so many decisions going into making a book like this。 One I found interesting was that the 1918 pandemic wasn't mentioned。 This books is VERY -U。S。 -centered， but provides a decent frame of reference for time and timing of historical events。 Something I talk with my students about a lot is time as a point of reference and understanding where historical events fit in the span of time。 I think this book can help them start to create that in their brains。 。。。more

I liked the timeline but a little too high level - a few interesting paragraphs。 It's a nice book to sortof organize some of the other books if kids have them。 I liked the timeline but a little too high level - a few interesting paragraphs。 It's a nice book to sortof organize some of the other books if kids have them。 。。。more

VERY brief history of the world。 Great for kids and adults。

A great short read placing major world events in order starting from Ancient Egypt and moving to the present day。 Granted there are plenty of major events and details missing since this book mainly focuses on placing the biographies of the "Who was" series in order， but as an elementary teacher， I always have a hard time helping kids place the things they are learning on a timeline since they don't have in mind any sequence of time or events yet。 Since students are already huge fans of the "who A great short read placing major world events in order starting from Ancient Egypt and moving to the present day。 Granted there are plenty of major events and details missing since this book mainly focuses on placing the biographies of the "Who was" series in order， but as an elementary teacher， I always have a hard time helping kids place the things they are learning on a timeline since they don't have in mind any sequence of time or events yet。 Since students are already huge fans of the "who was" series， they will for sure want to pick this one up。 As they read， they are going to get a great basis for world events that hopefully they will be able to add to as they learn more about history。 This is such a great book for young kids needing a starting reference to world history （mostly Western civilizations）。Even as an adult there are some surprising things on the timeline that you may not have realized lined up together in history。 。。。more
