For all Ages

Written for children, but just as educational and interesting for adults who love history. The author does a great job summarizing and contextualizing key moments in history, while preserving the drama of these moments.

Ms Bauer is phenomenal, but this was not for me

I have listened to the first 3 for adults and thought this would be interesting. I am sure it is great for kids, as intended, but not for me as an add on for adults.

Read this story or you’ll regret it.

My brother-in-laws sisters daughters boyfriends moms dads boyfriend is the voice in this audiobook. He’s not a good man.

How history is so interesting

I like that it’s history because I love history because history is so interesting to me

Loved the readers voice and enthusiasm!

My girls loved listening to this whole book! So entertaining and educational! We listened to the whole book while driving to various places in the car.
