Review: The most cherished book on my history shelf(s) - I first found this book in a museum shop and promptly put it on my Christmas present wish list. Where Santa failed, desertcart delivered. This is one of my favourite history books. And I got many - quite a few on an academic level. But none is so beautifully and richly illustrated as this one. The kids agree and are clearly drawn to it as well. So you'll get a vast, over-500 page hard-cover book that actually displays nicely, if you wish. It reads very well, is very clear and chronologically structured. The book offers a fair bit of detail occasionally in either the text or illustrations. And there are quite a few things, even when quite basic, that I found brilliantly explained. From an educational point of view I would say children in year-4 should be able to read it with some ease, perhaps with help & guidance. But those a little older will fully appreciate and enjoy it on their own. As the book spans 5000 years of British (mostly English) history you generally get a synopsis of most topics. Thus it generally doesn't go into a tremendous amount of depth and detail . However, for example there are still over 50 pages on Roman Britain. As with all history books it remains a product of our time. And as this book was first published 10 years ago it will inevitably and progressively fail to strike the right political chord with some readers. In particular with over-cynical and inquiring Millenials and their Gen Y-successors. But that's not the purpose of the book; its meant as an introduction and reference for young children. So yes, because of the wide span of the book there is limited room for dialogue or perspective. For example the conditions of women feature prominently, but it's the male rulers that get most attention. In the same vein the role of Britain in slave trade, the Boer war or colonisation could have been questioned. Nevertheless in my view this doesn't make this a less attractive introduction to history. There are other books or online references for that. All in all - I love the book. And I wish/hope Usborne would issue similar national histories of other countries (start with Spain, France, China, and the US for example. Or do proper justice to Scotland). Review: Innovative children’s history book - Good condition, in good time. Bought for our granddaughter’s 8th birthday. She enjoys reading and listening to history and the Usborne book appears to be an imaginative and innovative way of presenting it. Hope she enjoys the content, links etc. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children over 36 months - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
