About The Story of the World Series – History That Reads Like an Adventure Book! Tired of history that feels more like a list of dates than an epic tale? Then you're ready for The Story of the World—a wildly engaging, story-driven history curriculum that brings the past to life with dragons, emperors, explorers, and the occasional pie fight (seriously).

This four-volume series by Susan Wise Bauer turns world history into a captivating read-aloud (or read-alone!) journey from ancient times to the modern age, all told in a way that actually makes sense to kids. Think of it as your child's personal time machine—minus the jet lag.

What You'll Explore

Volume 1: Ancient Times
From pyramids and pharaohs to the last Roman emperor—travel back to the very beginning!

Volume 2: The Middle Ages
Castles, crusaders, and chocolate (yes, really). From the fall of Rome to the start of the Renaissance.

Volume 3: Early Modern Times
Queen Elizabeth I, samurai battles, and the invention of potato chips (okay, almost). All the excitement from the 1500s to the Gold Rush.

Volume 4: The Modern Age
From railroads to revolutions, you'll tour the globe and wrap up with the 20th century's biggest moments.

Each volume is built to flex with your family—Volume 1 is great for curious kids in grades 1–6, while Volume 4 ramps things up for older students, typically grades 4–8, with topics that carry a little more weight.

The series isn't faith-based, but it does introduce major figures from many world religions. If your family prefers to skip a few activities here and there, no problem—there's more than enough to choose from. And when the biblical details feel a bit light? That's your cue to jump in and share more of God's story, making the lesson even richer and more personal.
