A Child's Geography of the World is a general course in geography for juveniles. Hillyer was headmaster at the famed Calvert School and wrote a series of books as part of the curriculum for his students. This title was the result of many years of teaching the subject to young children and of several more years in authoring it. The books is now considered in a classic in home schooling. illustrated with maps and drawings.
We read this book just a couple chapters at a time during family meeting. The first few chapters are a bit questionable, but they allowed us to discuss strange racial views prevalent in the 1940s. Aside from a few worldview issues, this was a FABULOUS overview of history. Highly recommend.
