      We are loving this simple text! It gives them great little introductions and overviews of a variety of events and people. My daughters are 7 and 9 and rejoice each time I pick this one up. They both are able to do oral narrations over small portions in each chapter, and is a great gentle text to introduce us into the narration method as we are new to Charlotte Mason style!
