The main text is wonderful, written in a very conversational style that is easy for children to understand, but includes many interesting facts that even adults may not know. Even my very young children love curling up on my lap as we pass the book around and my oldest child and I take turns reading the pages. Instead of being the dreaded subject that you might remember from your school days, History is a treat, and my children beg for us to read more. The main text alone would be a great resource, but combined with the activity and test books, this program is an absolute joy. I don't spend much time at all planning lessons, perhaps 30 minutes every weekend choosing worksheets and picking up library books to enrich our study. And for all this, it is priced quite low -- a steal for all the information that your children will be getting! It's also nice to be able to teach all of my children from one book, despite age differences, and many of the enrichment activities can be done or at least "assisted" by young children as well. I highly recommend this book! ## Frequently Bought Together - Story of the World, Vol. 2: History for the Classical Child: The Middle Ages - Story of the World, Vol. 3 Revised Edition: History for the Classical Child: Early Modern Times - The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child: Volume 1: Ancient Times: From the Earliest Nomads to the Last Roman Emperor, Revised Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/199682-story-of-the-world-vol-2-history-for-the-classical](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/199682-story-of-the-world-vol-2-history-for-the-classical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
