4 out of 5 stars A Helpful Supplement   December 21, 2008
I have found this book to be useful as a supplement to our homeschool history program. The colorful images help us to mentally flesh out the ideas we have read about. I actually haven't used any of the internet links, because as another reviewer said, you can find them with Google. But I like being able to give the book to my children after a history lesson and let them look at the appropriate section. This is especially helpful for my 10-year-old daughter, who is a visual learner.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing homeschool prehistory-modern history resource   October 8, 2008
My first grader, a very visual learner, loves this book. He asks for history first thing every morning because we use this book as our primary resource to study prehistory. To be precise, pages 12-101 offer a highly visual overview from the birth of the Earth to the first farmers.

We read a double page spread every day or two, then I'd type out his brief oral narration. As a treat, we'd visit the Quicklinks every Friday to further delve into what we'd read the whole week. Like another reviewer mentioned, the Quicklinks clearly set this encyclopedia apart.

My son was so enthralled by this book that he wanted to create a Prehistory Timeline of his own and we adapted the text from this book for notes for our timeline. We are now stepping into the study of the Ancient Civilizations and I must say this book is proving to be a winner in this area too.

It's such value for money because it can be used for at least 4 years of world and American history studies. That's great news whether or not you intend to follow the Classical Method's 4-year history rotation.

Many thanks to Usborne for creating this gem and helping to plant a passion for history in my son's heart.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful addition to our home library!   September 7, 2008
We bought this book to use to supplement our home school history and we just love this book. The pictures bring the words to life and make it all very interesting. The home school family should not be without this book.


4 out of 5 stars I use this as the spine of my homeschool history classes   July 25, 2008
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I teach history classes for homeschool junior high students and use this book as the spine of our program. The paperback's font is way too small-- I recommend the hardcover.

The book is divided into 4 sections: prehistoric, ancient, medieval, and modern. The Ancient and Medieval sections are available as stand-alone volumes from Usborne. But, you have to purchase this thick encyclopedia if you want the first and fourth sections. For my kids, we purchased the large hardcover and had our local Kinkos slice the spine off the book and spiral-bind the four sections into 4 different books that were much smaller and more manageable.

I give it only 4 stars. It's the best history encyclopedia available, but I hope something better will someday be available.

PROS: great review of ancient and medieval history, great illustrations, good readability. Internet links are fun and easier than googling.

CONS: Insufficient coverage of 20th century and *WAY* too much time spent on prehistoric life. I'm not anti-evolution (I haven't yet made my decision on this topic). I simply feel the the information would be better suited to an earth science book rather than a history book. It's simply a waste of money for parents to pay for 1/4 of a book not even used in the majority of history studies. I suppose Usborne wrote the book from the perspective of "Earth's History" rather than the history of just humans on the earth.


5 out of 5 stars A page turner   January 12, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this book at the request of my homeschooling sister. She says that she and her almost 5 year old read a few pages a day and are already halfway done with the book. She says each section is brief, but would help to build a broad basic knowledge. It is a good starting point for deeper research. I looked it over before I gave it to her and it is a very appealing book. It is full of illustrations that look like they would be hours of educational entertainment.
