    What did you like about it or didn’t like about it?

    I have used it some.  I like it over all.  It is written to a child – like A child’s History of the World.  What I don’t like is when it says what a state or country is famous for it is often out of date.  When it says how they lived it is how they used to live. 

    I wish there was a book like it that was current.

    I am interested in using that book as well as a supplement. You cuold use the inf. that is out of date as an entry in your BOC at the appropriate time in the historical timeline. Also, I think many countries have changed names since the writing out of that book (i.e. USSR), so that’s useful to document in the BOC as well. 

    So it doesn’t have to be negative.I agree Dawn about desiring a current version of the same book; but alas, as the saying goes-“they don’t make’em like they use to”
