We homeschool and I got this book to make sure my daughter is on track. She just finished third grade and we are going through the book this summer to go over things she is a little weak on as well as things we missed or didn't discuss as much as we probably should have. It's organized nicely as far as topics and has a lot of information in it. I also got the 4th grade edition as well to help me plan for the upcoming school year.
It's been said before, but it is awfully Euro-centric. The geography focusses on the Mediterranean and the history on voyages of exploration. I still think I'd use it if I was homeschooling.
Excellent resource
