One Response to “History”

  1. Hi there! I broke my RSS feed for awhile, and was too lazy to fix it … end result, I went for quite some time without reading blogs. Or writing on my own, really. I like the new look you’ve got!

    I was just doing a web search to determine whether or not I wanted to try Hillyer’s “A Child’s History of the World” for my 1st and 2nd graders. Instead, I came across your review of Gombrich. Can you compare those two books for me? Which do I want? My 7 year old loves history, but listening comprehension is not his strong suit. He can listen to fiction well, but nonfiction has really got to be both very storylike, simple and clear. Story Of The World frequently loses him, because it simply gives him too much information too quickly.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts!
