    This book does show bare brested natives and butts, our home has found a Sharpie works well for these pictures. I was somewhat disappoined in the teaching of Evolution, but that is Usborne for you. I took the opportunity to teach my son the wrongness and lie of Evolution. SonLight did not include the Evolution study in their teachers guide. They simply skipped the page.

    I am really suprised to find a Christian based curriculum recommending and sending out books that depict half naked women. Under the guise of depicting ethnic groups of peoples, bare breasted women are depicted on page 4, 16 & 19. And on page 13 are men with bare butts. The information contained in the book is NOT worth exposing a 1st grader to nudity.

    I was a bit disappointed that the second lesson (according to the instructor's manual) consist of teachings of Evolution (our ancestors were monkeys!). Needless to say, I am not impressed with this book at all. It is on its way back to Sonlight.

    The nudity is included for historical/cultural realism, not for titillation, but if you're that overly concerned about it, it can be covered up with marker or stickers. In addition, the fact that some believe in evolution is a fact of life and in my opinion it's better to share this kind of information in this manner in order to allow the parent to discuss it with the child rather than be exposed elsewhere which may not include caring correction. Overall this isn't our favorite culture/history book but it serves its purpose and we'll keep it around.

    Well, I'm sending this book back. Some of the material is nice, but it's got enough lies that I don't want to keep it for our library. First of all, it talks about Evolution as fact. Secondly, in the religion section it says that Christians believe if they lead a good enough life they will end up in heaven. And finally -the least offensive offense, in my opinion, is the unnecessary nudity
