melmac Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 by Hillyer and Huey. What can you tell me about this series. The good, the bad. What ages would it be most appropriate for? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 We used several of these on our first pass through history when my daughter was in 7th and 8th grade. Have you heard of A Child's History of the World (CHOW) by Hillyer? This series is by the same author. The books are in a larger format and it is multi-volume but as I recall fairly similar to CHOW. My library happened to have these books; since I was on a budget we used them (along with a boatload of other books) and found them fine for our purposes. I'd suggest seeing if your library has them. If not, perhaps you could request them through inter-library loan. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmac Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 We will soon be finishing up CHOW and I've been looking for something similar for the next stage. Do you think these would be appropriate for Logic stage? Thanks so much for responding to my question! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Isn't there anyone familliar with these books? :confused: I sold my set a few years ago, but as I recall the books removed the questionable parts of CHOW (calling Orientals "the yellow man", etc.) and added some neat black and white photographs. I think the text was pretty much the same though. I don't know that you would use it after using CHOW, there's just not enough new information there. I didn't like the tone of CHOW so used them in lieu of CHOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Do you think these would be appropriate for Logic stage? Yes, I do think they'd be appropriate for that age group. I don't recall anything objectionable. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
