The Story of Civilization

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nicki Palin. Working in broad strokes, Harris tells the tale of civilization--from isolated nomadic tribes settling into villages and creating language, tools, and monetary systems; to the interaction of vastly different cultures; to the growth of science, arts, religion, and government; to the industrial revolution and beyond. Detailed illustrations bring a distant past to life, but a tacked-on moral dampens the otherwise thought-provoking history.
