Soft 96p #210-320 This is the most comprehensive one-volume book we’ve found covering world history for children.

Each packet includes hundreds of figures with dates, blank wall charts, and instructions. The Record of Time: Timeline Notebook becomes an organizing keepsake for multi-generational use. The Placement Guide aids you in organizing your notebook, and the Collection of Historical Timeline Figures CD not only contains the figures from all four packets, they can also be resized for projects or coloring.
