Genevieve Foster Books

Our family has read many of the Genevieve Foster books. We especially liked The World of Augustus Caesar . Foster has a unique pattern for these books. They are written in a chronological format over the course of a famous person's life such as Christopher Columbus, John Smith, or George Washington. But unlike other books, Foster covers the highlights of world history by telling in story format what else is happening in the world during the lifetime of the book's namesake. Like no other books, these give us a sense of what happens chronologically in history, weaving the facts of famous people and nations into a beautiful tapestry story. These books are used by the Beautiful Feet Homeschool Curriculum and others. I highly recommend these books. JULIE
