A History of Rome, Volume 2 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" We listen to this constantly when we drive around town. My children, ages 7 and 5 absolutely love it, and I am shocked at what they remember. I would recommend it for anybody, with kids or not. It helps you put world history in a context that you can remember easily, and it's entertaining. "

" I read this series to my children and they gave them two enthusiastic thumbs up! "

" Excellent introduction to the Middle Ages. I always enjoy a well-written and -researched book for children when tackling a new subject. Great for overview and for getting the mind around difficult subjects. "

" an excellent history text in a narrative format "

" We listen to this in the car going to and from school. My 8-year old adores it and begs for it. My 4 and 6 year old also like it. I really enjoy it as well, too, and have learned a lot about history that I either didn't learn or didn't remember. We did volume one last year. "

" Reading this with Conner. These books are amazing. "

" I don't like the narrator, but these are great to listen to in the car. Educational, too. "

" Another solid entry in Wise Bauer's history for kids. Amelia enjoyed this one as well and is looking forward to completing the series. "

" My kids always ask for more when reading this book about the history of the world. They are learning a lot from it. "

" Like, volume 1, this work is intended to be read aloud to a child. Slightly more advanced in reading level than vol. 1. "

" I would love reading these myself even if I wasn't home schooling. "

" Good elementary-level explanation of important world events and circumstances "

" I love the activity books, but the books themselves are so dry yet thorough. "

" My Mom did not have "The Story of the World" books when I was in school. However I read all four of them a few years ago and still really enjoyed them. I will definitely be using these books when I am homeschooling my own children someday. "

" We are in our second year of homeschool and are enjoying volume 2 just as much. We also bought the workbook and find it to be a very fun and helpful resource. "

" It's embarrassing how much I learned from this audiobook, really good though. "

" On our shelf for fall "

" This is the BEST history series for homeschooling all my kids. Parent tested - kid approved :) "

" My children and I enjoy these CDs on a regular basis. The narrator has an excellent voice and the accompanying music really evokes a feeling for the time period. My children have effortlessly absorbed so much from these CDs. They have been a real asset to our homeschool "

" Our family would listen to Jim Weiss read the phone book. That's how much we love him. He never disappoints. "

" Love the format and the information. Both the kids and I are learning so much and especially enjoying history. "

" I've never been good at remembering events in history. Even as an adult, I find many historical non-fiction stories really boring. This is meant for children (and I would definitely recommend it for children), but as an adult, I very much enjoyed this and plan to get the other volumes. "

" This is the second book in the history curriculum Susan Wise Bauer wrote. We are using it for the outline of our history studies this year. "

" The boys are still enjoying this series... "

" Another good story of the world book! "

" I wish I would have had this as one of my history textbooks growing up! "

" This was great. I've listened to it about 3 times now. Wish I could find the printed version of it. "
