I had no idea Baby Professor had books for older kids as well.  I had my 11yr old read through this and got her opinion on this book.  She really loved the lay out of the book she said she loves learning about history but hates getting lost in the information.  This one the information on each page was short and very interesting.  She also said she loved that it helped her to stay focused because of the length on each page.  She wished it was longer but for what it was it was a good quick history lesson.  She said she would definitely recommend this book to other 5th graders or even 4th graders.  The reading level is not hard to read and the words were all easy to understand.
I was given this product at discount or free for an honest and unbiased review.

I loved this concise history of the world.  It is very well organized, and ties in concurrent events from all over, which are often glossed over or omitted altogether.  It was very interesting to read about the global effects of empire expansion and contraction.  He has a barely camoflauged leftist opinion about current events, but very insightful.

Great book that is an easy read.  I am heading to Italy on vacation and wanted to read some quick history.  I am planning to visit the Leaonardo Da Vinci museum in Florence, so this book will give me a better understanding of what I am looking at.  I wish I could find similar quick books on many other historical persons or places.  I enjoyed reading this and have learned a lot of great facts.

Many phrases are reviewed*.  (*historical roots of the phrases)  Each description is from 2 to 6 paragraphs - i.e. a quick reference.  Wonderful information.

Nicely condensed series of historical events.  Picked up a few things that I must have missed in History class -- or have forgotten.  Enjoyed it a lot.

For those of us who forgot our basic American history -- or were paying insufficient attention -- this book is a perfect little solution.  It concisely and clearly recaps the highlights not just of the main events but of some of the key ideas that drive the American revolution.  Nice job.

Beautiful little survey of two millennia of church history. The effect is a quick read which produces a bird's eye view, allowing for clear lines to be drawn and the broad progression of thought and praxis to be followed. Would recommend to anyone desiring a working knowledge of the story of the church.

Concise and well organized historical summary of the highlights of the stops along the Freedom Trail. This guide can be read in advance of your tour (recommended) and taken with you as you stop by each historic site. Would recommend.

This book was very helpful..very clear and concise..really good for quick review.  I also use this book for the med students and PA students that I mentor.  It provides the information necessary for a quick 5-10 minute presentation/hip pocket class for gyn case studies.  This isn't detailed enough for any board review but it is a good augmentation.
