title: The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child; Volume 1: Ancient Times: From the Earliest Nomads to the Last Roman Emperor
author:  Susan Wise Bauer 
description: "This may well be the best multiage read aloud narrative of world history yet to have been written. " -- <i>Homeschooling in Japan, January 2002</i><br /><br />This is a basic history resource from which you can build a complete study for the early grades. -- <i>Cathy Duffy, author of Christian Home Educator's Manual: Elementary Grades and co-author of Beyond Survival: A Guide to Abundant-Life Homeschooling</i><br /><br />This works wonderfully as a family read-aloud... There's plenty of dialogue and enough detail to keep adults interested. -- <i>Cafi Cohen, author of Homeschooling The Teen Years</i>
