Love Honest History

It is such an amazing thing to find curriculum that is told in an honest, upfront manner instead of like other curriculums that put a twist on the truth!

Amazing Customer Service!

My family recently ordered an item and unfortunately, it never made it to us. Honest History managed to locate all our information and order history within minutes of learning of our missing item and are preparing to send out a replacement item on Monday! Amazing! I'm so excited to get our new material and support such a well run organization.

I enjoyed this book and think it will help kids get interested in a subject they may previously thought too complicated or "boring". Purchasing for my library!

History is Rich is a great resource in helping children understand capitalism and the economy. It focuses on American history and the role money played at each stage. I would say this would be best for a middle school child. Great bright illustrations and easy to read text.
