• Book: “The Story of the World – The Middle Ages” by Susan Wise Bauer (Volume 2)

    “The Story of the World: The Middle Ages” Volume 2 CD Set by Susan Wise Bauer and read by Jim Weiss.  This is a 9 CD set on the history of the world from the Fall of Rome to the Rise of the Renaissance.   Our girls have listened to Volume 1 of “The Story of the World” and we are moving into the second volume.  I am amazed at how much these CD’s capture their attention and the amount of information they pack into each volume.  They are thrilled to be starting the next set of CD’s. I am looking forward to learning with them.  They have always enjoyed audio books and it makes me happy that they are learning while listening.  Kindergarten doesn’t highlight on a lot history so giving them an opportunity to listen to these helps round out their education just a little bit more.  They listen to a chapter a day on the way to school, otherwise we listen to the CD’s while we are driving around town.  These a little more expensive but when we use our Swagbucks to purchase the CD’s we get it free or only pay a few dollars.!

  • Audio Book: “The Story of the World” by Susan Wise Bauer (Volume 1)

    After a friends recommendation we got the first CD set of The Story of the World: Volume 1: Ancient Times: From the Earliest Nomads to the Last Roman Emperor by Susan Wise Bauer and read by Jim Weiss.  The girls LOVE listening to audio books and have thoroughly enjoyed these ones as well.  As a Mom I am thrilled about it because it isn’t just an audio book they are listening to but history.  It is amazing how quickly kids will pick up on bits of history just listening to the audio books.  I have been very impressed with it and glad the girls are captivated by their stories as well!  They do a wonderful job keeping the kids attention.  If you have a young child that loves to read this may be a wonderful addition to your home library.  I have even learned new stuff listening to the CDs with the girls.  We look forward to listening to the first set several times and hopefully getting the next Volume in the future.
