Rivka Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I read a pile of these books when I was a kid, and now that I have a budding history geek I am wondering about bringing them in as read-alouds. I don't know whether they are actually any good, though. What do you think of this series? Are they passably historically accurate? How is the writing quality? Do they have an ideology?

CactusPair Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 My 8 year old dd loves to read them to herself. She's learned a bunch! She's really expanded her interests through these books. There's no way, for example, that I could have seen her choosing a book about Teddy Roosevelt on her own before she started this series! She wants to read about all kinds of subjects bec. of the books' appealing style and format. I have no idea how accurate they are or how they would appeal as a read-aloud for a younger student, though. I say just choose one from the library and give it a whirl.
