Description
The Story of the World series brings to life the people, discoveries, conflicts, and stories that shaped human history, from the ancient era to our own time. Told in Susan Wise Bauer’s exciting, clear style, this series has been read aloud by millions of parents to their elementary-school children, and has been read independently by a generation of middle-schoolers. The Story of the World series has over 800,000 copies in print.
Volume 2 covers the major historical events from the fall of the Rome through the rise of the Renaissance. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white drawings and maps, it also includes a pronunciation guide and chronology. (History doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it happens in real places, so we put lots and lots of maps in our history books.)
Use this Text along with The Story of the World Vol. 2: The Middle Ages, Activity Book for a full year of history, geography, and literature study along with fun and engaging hands-on activities.
Consider this: it’s almost time for lunch, your toddler is attempting to scale the mountain of laundry that hides the washing machine, and little Sally wants you to read her the chapter about the Viking Invasion again. Do you really want to hinder her thirst for history? Of course not! But what about lunch? And that laundry won’t wash, dry, and fold itself…No problem, there’s an Audiobook version of this Text read by Jim Weiss. He can read to your kids when you can’t!
