Kids had fun with these! |
|
I read these stories to my 5-year-old son & my 9-year-old neice. They both loved them & wanted me to keep reading The stories are great for teaching history for younger kids. |

A family favorite |
|
This is one of my favorite books my 6 year old and I have read. Each week we read different selections and made time line cards for school. It is a great way to introduce history to your child and yourself as well. A definite must-have for your living book collection. |

An important book |
This wonderful little book was first published in 1896 (at least that's the one I have). It contains fifty short stories that were originally considered indispensable for the education of truly literate and well-rounded children. The fifty stories are classics of American culture, and as such are almost completely forgotten in today's America.
The stories teach such lessons as perseverance, self-sacrifice, compassion, diligence, and much more. And they star such once-well-known people as King Alfred of Britain, Pocahontas, Sir Walter Raleigh, Leonidas and the 300 Spartans, and Socrates.
So, if you have a young person who you would like to read truly educational stories to, then you really should consider getting this book. It was an important book then, and it is an important book now. I give it my highest recommendations! |

Great action book! |
|
I was thrilled to start this book with my eight year old son. It just seems like more books are geared for girls' interests. I highly recommend it! The only bummer thing is that there is no table of contents or index so it takes a bit of thumbing through the pages to find a specific title. |

Quick stories, good for bedtime |
|
As an American, my 6 year old twins are a bit lost with some of the olde english words and sayings. I usually change the words to more modern phrases or stop and explain their meanings. Either way, they're learning and interested. |
