Cons: lack of hands-on tie ins to lessons
Grades Used: middle school
We used Volume 2 of A Child's Geograph - Explore the Holy Land. I love the visuals in the book and wished every page had full-color pages. As it is now, every other page has color. This meant that some pages with great photos were in black and white.
I loved the story-book reading content and the recipes given. I would have liked to have had more hands-on projects to do. I also wish it would have been more chronological with biblical/world history.
