Helpful Score: 2

I requested this book to add a history element to the geography curriculum we are using in our home school this year. I would read the assigned pages (the curriculum suggests to use this book and has it broken down into reading for each day)and my children all sat and listened. Several times during the three weeks we have used this book, my children (6, 6, 8, & 10) each have come up to me to repeat something they remember from the book. We finished yesterday and I told them where we would keep it for the rest of the school year in case they want to look through it on their own. All four of them have looked through it again already today and it's only 1:00pm :) The book has lovely pictures, and is written in a manner to answer specific questions. Most pages start with the question, then go on to answer that question. The questions are written as if they are actually being asked by young children and the answers are written in language that they are likely to understand. I did not find myself having to explain words to my youngest children, as I have with some of the other books we've used with other subjects.
