- Christmas Gift
I purchased this book as a Christmas Gift for my grandson who is in the fourth grade.I will have to wait to see what he says about the book.A good deal!
Rating: 
- EXCELLENT!
This book has many facts that can be used for many years. The most important part I like is the US History beginning with 1492 Columbus sailing the ocean blue;up to the present time.The old one I had dated 2001, was too far out of date.This book is better than a set of encyclopedias and takes up less room.Thank you...I have no idea where I
found the link.

This is a great book for curious minds. I bought this for both my boys 8 and 5 and they love the facts and behind the scence information that they can read about. It is very colorful and keep the attention for long periods of time. Quality book for long road trips and learn at the same time.
