Written in a similar style to the preceding volumes, this book teaches history and geography with a living-book approach that weaves together engaging text and vibrant photographs and graphics. Students will feel as if they are walking in the footsteps of great minds from the medieval world, including Charlemagne, Ferdinand and Isabella, Joan of Arc, Johannes Gutenberg, and Martin Luther, while exploring Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the tiny kingdoms: Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Materials lists and weekly schedule make this 3-day-a-week course easy to use. This volume does pick up where Explore the Classical World (Volume 3) ends in the timeline of history. Volume 3 is helpful for understanding the Middle Ages, but it is not necessary to complete this volume. Chapters conclude with map work, timeline work, reflection questions, and a Love Your Neighbor prompt where families pray for the people in that area of study. Activities include making flashcards, picture studies, learning Italian, recipes, construction projects, and so much more, making this such an engaging geography course for students. Chapter reviews and a final exam can be found in the back along with all answers and reference maps. 383 pgs., paperback. ~Rebecca

Written in a conversational style, A Child's Geography from Master Books incorporates engaging text and activities to bring geography alive. Explore His Earth takes your family on a journey through and around the earth, learning everything about the Earth as a whole, before venturing into individual continents and countries. Each volume offers well-written text, colorful graphics, Memory Joggers (narration), and activities. Projects vary – for example, map the location of shoes found washed up on shore, make an edible earth, create mosaics, and more. Activity pages (reproducible for individual/ family) help students to build a geography notebook. Activities vary – simple drawing or coloring pages, short answer/fill-in-the-blank questions, word searches, Scripture copywork, and more! Activities are clearly not “tacked on” because they relate to the topic; they are well-chosen for children to enjoy! Chapter reviews, semester exams, and answer keys are also included. For teachers, there is helpful information, a materials list and suggested 3-Day Schedule. These editions have notable visual and organizational differences, making them very user-friendly.
