From School Library Journal:
Gr 4-8-Clearly and succinctly written, this one-volume encyclopedia captures the essence of historical time periods in an easy-to-follow format. Introductory pages include specific directions on how to use the book complete with a diagram and a wonderful beginning definition of "What is history?" Organized chronologically from the ancient world through the 20th century, each carefully planned double-page spread begins with a brief paragraph summarizing the subject. Topics touched upon include art and architecture, religion and rulers, and science. Copious drawings, maps, and sidebars further explain information and help readers visualize the era. Many of the photos are of artifacts and historical items. Others are realistic drawings depicting life and events of the time. At the conclusion of each historical division, an illustrated time line covering the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania, and Africa and the Middle East assists in summarizing the information presented. "Who's Who" pages help place names in history. Children will enjoy browsing through this colorful title and will use it mainly for ready reference.
