I love all the books in this series. Each book takes a plot of land and shows how it changes from pre-history human occupation through various key times in history (such as Greeks, Romans, Middle Ages, Industrial Rev. through to modern times).
Because of the detail in these books, it would probably take several sittings to go through one together with your kids. Any would also be a great one to leave out on the coffee table. These are the kind of books kids will pick up over and over again.
There’s a small amount of text on each page. Then to help give the pages focus, around the edges there are “characters” which you can then try to find in the picture. –Cool supplement to world history study and just for fun.
Other titles in the series include A Port Through Time and A City Through Time.
