Hilarious reviews
I was on the fence about buying this book. But after reading several previous reviewers whining about the use of common era and how christianity was “left out” I was curious enough to give it a try.After flipping through the book I had to literally laugh out loud. Christianity isn’t left out at all, there’s hardly a page between 500-1750 CE that the religion, figures from it, churches, saints, etc aren’t mentioned at least once. I counted over 40 references. There is even a two page spread on what life would have been like for a little monk boy and one on the crusades. Christianity isn’t downplayed or left out, if anything it was a bit *TOO* christian and Eurocentric. I would have loved to see more on the rest of the world… because you know, other people and religions exist too.Overall it is a nice book, with beautiful images for the kids. My children have enjoyed reading from it. We don’t use it as our only history book, but as reference and jumping off point to explore more about different time periods and peoples. I am glad they have it around to look through and learn from.

I happened to find a typo on one page, the author's name of The Tale of Genji should be Shikibu(式部 ) instead of Shikabu.
