Yay History!
I just received A Child's History of the World in the mail yesterday, and I am very excited. I think it's going to work great for us. Story of the World was good too, but it was from the library, so that was a bit of a pain, and I knew that Ambleside uses CHOW in year 2 and beyond. So it made the most sense to buy this. It seems like the right amount of information for Z's age, and also it looks very engaging. I also received History Pockets: Ancient Civilizations, and as soon as L saw that, he asked if he could do it too. This also looks very age-appropriate (for Z). It'll review what we've already learned, and continue on with Greece and Rome (and a couple more that we'll probably save for the summer/fall.) So I'm excited about history again.

It's nice to have the right tools for a job, I'm glad you like the book. Merry Christmas!
what are you doing up at 4 am????
Yay, I made it on your blog!
So where do you get all these neat recources!?
Ok, I like SOTW and CHOTW seems appealing for the children. What would you say are the differences? Decisions, decisions :)
Yay, I'm glad you commented! Um, I think both are very geared towards young kids, so that's good. Easy to listen to. I haven't read much yet of CHOW, but it seems like SOTW was a bit more detailed. And you have to buy all four volumes instead of one. If you go on the well-trained mind forums and do a search, there are some threads comparing the two. You're welcome to look through my copy sometime!
