A fact-filled introduction to global history with stories and characters from the most important turning points from the dawn of civilization to World War II, this book is designed for children with an interest in the past who want to find out more about the people who made history—artists and architects, soldiers and explorers, politicians and religious leaders. From the discovery of metalworking to the devastation of the Black Death, and from the rise of the Ottoman empire to the scramble for Africa, key events in world history are introduced simply and clearly, with the help of stunning illustrations from the British Library’s collection.

Clare Hibbert is an author and editor of more than 200 children’s books, specializing in natural history, art, and culture.
Gr 3–5—Bright colors and iconic photos and paintings lead kids through the moments that helped shape history. The book is split into four sections: "Prehistory-Classical," "Medieval Times," "Greater Horizons," and "Birth of the Modern World." The layout is consistent from chapter to chapter, with variations only in photo placement. Included in each chapter are various facts and a summary of what life was like during each specific period. The volume is designed like a National Geographic work and condenses the historical events quite well. There are full-color picture pages at the beginning of each chapter to help separate each era of history. The paper is of great quality and thickness, and a variety of fonts are used. The text contains several British spellings (but no slang), which may confuse some audiences. VERDICT A decent addition to any library where fact books are a big draw.—Kristin Anderson, Bloomingdale Public Library, IL
