| 1. |  | A Little History of the World
from Yale University Press
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
If you enjoy clear prose, buy this book. If dry textbooks make you yearn for some time with a great humanist pondering the big questions of where we come from and why violence and ignorance so often seem to eclipse everything worthwhile, buy this book.

| 2. |  | Castle: Medieval Days and Knights (A Sabuda & Reinhart Pop-up Book)
from Orchard Books
Price: $12.99
Customer Review:
We own two other Sabuda books and this one ranks on the same level. The castle's detail is amazing and all of the "bonus" pop ups on the side add extra entertainment and interest to the pages. The price was a great value. The book is so good that, even in today's overstimulated,... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child, Volume 1: Ancient Times CDs (Story of the World: History for the Classical Child)
from Open Texture
Customer Review:
I foolishly purchased this book before reading the reviews and was struck straight away at how the author carelessly alternates between historical fact and myths and legends. I was very disappointed in this as children need to know that there is a very important difference, and how to tell the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I have had a copy of this book for many years. I loved the original Foxfire book, and the rest of the series. I am replacing my copies, since I have read them so much they are starting to fall apart. This is a wonderful series of books! | 4.5 / 5.0

from Yearling
Price: $6.50
Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would--having heard that it is offensive to Native American. I do not mean this offensively, but I think I would have to have all that offends pointed out to me.
However, I found this a truly fascinating story of survival and the beauty of the... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from DK CHILDREN
Customer Review:
This is a great book for children who know only what they've heard in schools or in passing by their grandparents.
For adults or older children, I recommend WALKING THROUGH FIRE: AN IWO JIMA SURVIVOR'S REMEMBRANCE which is a first-person account by a WWII veteran who was not only Iwo Jima but... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is Twaine at his best. The book provokes thought, draws sympathy, and is downright hilarious. It also reads smoothly and at a brisk pace. It's a quick, fun read. I should also emphasize that while this is frequently labelled as children's literature, I find that label to be completely... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
