I didn’t get this set online here, but if they are selling the separate History and Geography books for this price, it is a great deal. I have both books and they are full of information. For the History book, it goes like this:
Pages 2-3 are on Native American Tribes. They list the six regions (Southwest, Plains…) and the main diet, shelter, clothing and a cool fact for each area. There is also a map of the USA listing 19 tribes with facts and a timeline. Each page has a game on it.

Pages 4-5 deal with the Anasazi and Iroquois, comparing the tribes and their lifestyle as they are from different parts of the country.
Pages 6-7 are Spanish Explorers, Sailing into the Unknown. 6 explorers are presented, Columbus, Coronado, deSoto, Cardenas, deVaca, deLeon. There is a small map showing their routes to America, a timeline and a description of life on the ships that sailed here.
Pages 8-9 are Early American Settlements. Info on Roanoke, Jamestown, Plymouth and Mass. Bay. A brief description of each time and area.
Pages 10-11 is the 13 Colonies. A map of the 13 with date they settled. A drawing of a cobblestone street with what is was like back then as well as a drawing of a plantation you take a ‘tour’ on .
Pages 12-13 Greece and Rome, a Blast from the Past. Drawings and a real photo of the Parthenon. Drawn map of area. Sayings from Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Greek/Roman timeline. Short sayings by Caesar, Caligula and Nero.
Pages 14-15 is Daily Life, Roaming around Rome. Info on gladiators, Roman numerals, how people lived, ate… A drawing map of city with a few things to click on..bath house, chariot…
Pages 16-17 is Greek and Roman Mythology. A drawing of each Greek/Roman god, and their different names (Zeus/Greek=Jupiter/Roman).
Pages 18-19 U.S. Heroes and Legends, Making History. 15 people (some fictional) are listed from either 18th, 19th or 20th century.
Pages 20-21 Inventors and Inventions, Master Minds. 24 items are drawn, glasses, typewriter, cotton gin, plane….with the inventors name and year under it.
Pages 22-23 is the Adventure Chronicles is drawn like a cartoon strip covering both pages. Like a review. Click on a picture and you hear what is important about that item. There is a totem pole, horse, turkey, Martin Luther King.
Each page comes with a game or interactive tool for the reader to use the pen for. For a child, this book is just right, each page just skims the surface of the subject given. There are plenty of facts and information given so that it is not something that will be read only once, but will take several times for all the information to sink in.

Usually ships in 1-2 business days.
