Story of the World covers all of world history in four volumes: Ancient Times, The Middle Ages, Early Modern Times, and The Modern Age. Each chapter reads like a story, making history accessible and engaging for young children. Activity guides (sold separately) add maps, coloring pages, crafts, and further reading. The audio versions (read by Jim Weiss) are beloved for car rides and quiet time. Many families cycle through all four volumes twice: once in early elementary and again in upper elementary with more depth. This is the book that launched thousands of homeschool history studies.
