iluvmy4blessings Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Did you read the first one and was it good? I'm thinking of getting it for my daughter to supplement the curriculum she is using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greensa Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 They truly do read like a story. DD doesn't especially like history, but enjoyed reading SWB books enough that she didn't mind them being, you know, history.:tongue_smilie: Having said that, I think they're light on the cultural side of things. They talk in sweeps of history. I wound up using Spielvogel as well. He has more cultural information (belief systems, photo examples of pottery/ clothing/ etc.) and uses excerpts of source documents. DD found him heavy reading (I was using a CC version with a 9th grader) but adding judicious sections gave a depth to the stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I love them. We love them. They can't come out fast enough. But I'm sure she puts more pressure on herself than imaginable, so, we wait patiently. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a great read. I splurged and also bought the Kindle version because I was traveling a lot last year. The maps show up better on the Kindle for PC than on the device, though.
