Eleven songs provide a wonderful mental timeline for American history, including key figures and their achievements, and major events in American history from 1492 to 1991.

Eleven songs provide a wonderful mental timeline for American history, including key figures and their achievements, and major events in American history from 1492 to 1991. While the music on this CD is less tinny than on the States & Capitals CD, the use of the accordion on most songs may drive some listeners crazy after a while. (To be fair, however: the recording was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Musical Album for Children category in 1999; two of the songs were also considered for awards in the Best Instrumental Arrangement with Vocals category.) Counterbalancing the music: the background sound effects are creative and interesting, and the content is extremely rich.

This is an excellent kit if you want the kids to learn Geography fast! We all listen to the cd over and over again on the lesson scheduled, have my kids do the coloring and labeling on their workbooks, and have them locate the countries on the map. It's amazing how they recognize what continent the country belongs to or what country a city belongs to when they hear it. It's very useful to play the cd over again every now and then for geography review as well. I'm so grateful we got this relevant cd.

We bought this in the cassette version about nine years ago, it wore out and I'm buying the CD. We loved it, it was a great way to review and remember our history. I recommend it for all ages. I confess, my five sons love the battle sounds, especially.

While I do like a lot of audio learning this one is not one of my favorites. One personal pet peeve - singing about very unhappy events in an upbeat way. It just seems wrong to hear, "Japan bombed Pearl Harbor" while you are bebopping along to the beat. To be fair I'm not sure how this could be done better, but I wish I hadn't have gotten it!
