Boy's History of the World and the United States
|
History is a fascinating topic! Battles, famous men, different cultures, and adventures can interest even the most jaded young man. Many of the best children's history books are older books and harder to find. For overall coverage, the Landmark Series of books is probably the best series of books available. Some of the books are available new, while some have not been reprinted recently. If you can find them, however, they are well worth reading. Another older series is the Golden Books History of the United States. These are the best American history books for children that I have ever read!
Although really historical fiction, the "We Were There" series covers major events in American history narrated by a fictional character who lives through the event. The Childhood of Famous American series is another excellent series covering the childhood adventures of famous people throughout American history. Again, some of the books are currently available, while others can only be purchased used. |
