Excellent book!

We used this book for our ancient history study for homeschool. It is not listed as a resource for TOG but we used it for lower grammar level resource, especially those weeks that didn't have any resources listed. It has great info on Hittites, Phoenicians, etc. which can be hard to find for this age level. It was easy reading for my 3rd grade son and my 6 year old was able to listen along.
Great book for getting started on the topic

At first glance, it seemed an overly brief and cursory overview of ancient civilization as it only spends a couple of pages per civilization and/or empire. My son who is in second grade, on the other hand, really enjoyed it and wanted to read it multiple times. All in all, it is a great book for getting started on the topic and will encourage further exploration in depth by supplementing with other substantial books and/or DVDs on each ancient civilization/ empire.
Great homeschooling resource for ages 6-12

We use this book in conjunction with My Father's World Creation to the Greeks curriculum. I already owned the thicker, larger, more comprehensive "Ancient World" from Usborne and thought we would just use that in this book's place, but found it was not as child-friendly and easy to read. The difference was enough to lead me to purchase this version. It has been a great addition for us, giving us just enough information for the subjects we are covering when used in conjunction with other resources. If we want to know even more, then we can move on to the larger text (my 12 year old is inclined to do this). Otherwise, this book is perfect for our needs.
Whooo!
