A Book In Time lists books that will enhance the understanding of important eras, people, and events in a typical study of history.
Content that is realistic to the time period and that promotes positive life principles are also determining factors. Book choices are made at the discretion of A Book In Time.
If you are an author of a history book for kids, either fiction or nonfiction, and would like to have your own children's history book reviewed, please mail a copy to A Book In Time at P.O. Box 324, Earlysville, VA 22936. All items mailed in will be read! Please be aware that books received by A Book In Time will be considered gifts and will not be returned. Titles that meet our purposes and objectives will be added to the website, and we may feature some of these titles in our newsletter. However, we reserve the right to not include any book on this website at our own discretion and without giving a reason.
The book review below the title gives a brief synopsis of its content, and can include comments on what is good and what is not-so-good about the book, noting possible objectionable elements. Keep in mind that all the history book reviews are strictly the personal opinions of the reviewer. Titles listed without comments have been recommended by respected sources, but have not yet been reviewed here.

For read-alouds, choose from the next grade level, i.e. E students can enjoy most UE books if read aloud to them. Be sure to note any cautions, particularly in JH and HS books, since some content is not suitable for younger children.
Because of the incredible value in many of the lower age-group books, we recommend that many of them not be limited to the younger child. These easy-to-read books allow the older student to gain a greater perspective of a particular historical theme in a short period of time, with minimal effort and a lot of fun!
In order for you to see pictures, further descriptions, and related information, each of our listed books are linked primarily to Amazon & CBD. If you choose to purchase, please consider doing so with one of these affiliates. Thank you!
Some books' content spans many years, making it difficult to place it in any particular time slot. These books are placed at the point of earliest significant achievement at the discretion of A Book In Time.
Every effort has been made to be as accurate as possible in these listings.
