Education that grabs interest - By: , 24 Apr 2003 We bought the magazine version because my daughter was studying the Tudorsin school. We kept up with the collection of magazines & tried some of the books. She loves them. Her interestin history is growing & she has learned to move away from just the horrible bits & into a more complete picture. These books are a gem for that. Anything that can get a 7 year old away from the tele & connected to the stream of the past, present & future that is life is great.
