The teacher’s guide is beautiful and is very easy to use. The accompanying picture books are rich and give a fantastic glimpse into the cultures and histories of countries around our world.

I love this curriculum! I have used it in some fashion for the past 6+ years. The book list alone is worth the price... Be prepared to learn alongside your kids and enjoy it SO MUCH!!

I am not a YouTuber or affiliate or anything of the sort, just a normal homeschool mama! I use this with my older three (9, 8, 6) and we absolutely LOVE it. There’s so many extra suggested deep dives that have been so full of rich information. I do think each family is unique and individual but even days or activities I thought “this won’t be very fun” we ended up loving. The Anno’s books really seemed terrible to me but my kids really enjoyed them! We ended up googling and YouTubing things we found interesting in the pictures. Make it your own, there is so much richness here without feeling like too much. We return to these resources again and again!

It provides the basic framework, library connections, biography/history suggestions, etc. But let's you lead! Plan on expanding on what you learn by using the MAP book and letting your kids pick things to learn more about. We use YouTube to see the scenery, learn more about "The Great Wall of China" etc., etc., and then to save money, we google the connection books for read-alouds over YouTube and purchase our favorites. It will require a little extra planning. Not quite open and go, but it is so fun! Currently a mom to 4, and also a sophomore in a K-6 elementary education degree program as my background. - The only thing so far I will mention is in the maps book there is one inappropriate (and small) image from the "love sauna". Honestly, this is something you could just white out, and it is cartoon, but I plan to cover it up. Plenty of people may not have noticed it. Still worth buying, but felt it necessary to mention it as a content caution. There are TONS of tiny images throughout the MAPS book, so again, this is very minute. But just in case you also feel the need to cover that image up. Enjoy the adventure!

This course is not complete and does not teach enough culture geography or much of anything about the different locations they are very surface level if that some of the books have no obvious connection to culture at least not for a young child to understand with out a deep explanation from an adult…. You would need to check out or buy every extra book for this curriculum to be even considered comprehensive….. for nearly $300 it’s not worth the cost and I will be going else where for history and geography
