On the Shores of the Great Sea by M.B. SyngeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I substituted this book-- which is the first in a series of five world history books-- for some other recommended history spines in both AO and CWH for our little homeschool. It could be categorized as a living history book.
We LOVE it!
The kids look forward to reading it every week (they are 6 and 5) and I am finding it so good I don't want to put it down.
Mostly dealing with the history of the peoples around the Mediterranean, this work tells ancient history in a way that is both fascinating and inspiring.... just by reading and narrating my kids and I are retaining historical facts and figures, inspired to learn more, and enjoying lots of historical play and conversation.
Highly recommend the entire series. This book says it is for ages 9 & up, but children who have been exposed to good literature from the beginning will have no problems understanding it, even at a very young age.
