Miss 12 spent hours reading, with no prompting from me. And after reading it, I quickly saw why.

In all honesty, this is one of my absolute favorite homeschool textbooks I’ve read. It doesn’t read at all like a textbook and could easily be used as a read-aloud book for children instead.

I loved their mini-biographies and fascinating stories about the events of the time.

I loved how Bible verses were incorporated and highlighted and showed why they were relevant not only during ancient times but now.

I highly recommend this book to use with children of all ages. Whether you use it as a read-aloud with your younger children or use it as a full-year curriculum with your older children and incorporate the additional material, this book is a must-have on every homeschooler’s shelf!

In addition to volume I, several other volumes are also offered, which I look forward to reading next!
