Farm School Review of A Little History of the WorldWonderful review of a little book that I cannot wait to get for my family! It sounds as if it may be very similar to A Child's History of the World which I use to introduce my children to world history in 4th grade (or there abouts). Using the Calvert curriculum taught me the concept of starting with world history and proceeding "inward" - the opposite of our school system's method of starting with the neighborhood and proceeding outward. American history makes so much more sense in the context of world history. I will post my own review of A Little History of the World once I have the chance to read it!

I think you'll really like it Karen. I have to admit that I already got it, even though my children aren't old enough for it yet. I love the conversational tone. And the fact that he wrote it in 6 weeks. Talk about letting go of perfectionism! I'd probably obsess over the title for longer than it took him to write the whole thing!
