Our family loves the Draw Write Now books so when I saw that they have a series with History thrown in I immediately bought the entire series. It has not disappointed me. Love the series as it allows my children to learn to draw on their own (we are homeschoolers) at a very affordable cost!

I loved these and so did my girls. You don't have to be an artist to enjoy.

This book is very creative and has great details in what they are instructing the students to draw. A fun way to add another dimention to your History studies. Can't wait to get the next in the series.

The entire draw and write your way through history series was excellent. I have six boys who love to draw they learned so much through this series while learning to draw true historical figures and places. I'd love to see more come out in the series so my boys could learn even more history in this fun and exciting manner.

My two kids are really enjoying learning to draw ancient history pictures. It is going really well with our ancient history studies.

I was given the opportunity on my blog (thecreativesideofsteph DOT blogspot DOT com) to review Draw and Write Through History: Creation Through Jonah.Carylee's Draw and Write series is geared for ages 8 and up, but if your younger child is interested in art and drawing, you can certainly adapt! Although this book was out of my daughter's ability, I can't wait until she CAN use it!The Draw and Write series is the perfect supplement for your homeschooling curriculum. These books would even be wonderful tools for summer break, because drawing is FUN!The book begins with an introduction from "Professor Doodle" who tells each story and gives the child drawing tips and tricks.I was sent "Creation Through Jonah," which after Professor Doodle's instruction to review our cursive letters, begins with Day 3 of Creation - plants.Professor Doodle guides the child, step by step, in drawing realistic plants and trees. He then shows the child how to draw a dinosaur and man. At the end of the section, a page of cursive copywork is given, summarizing the history lesson.After Creation, and besides the images on the cover, you will find instruction on drawing everything from the ark to mummies to Joseph to Jonah's whale. I was thoroughly impressed with the entire book. It was fun! The drawings were based on simple stick figures or sketches and then the child is shown how to fill it out, so that his drawing is realistic.I really wish I'd had something like this when I was in school!I think when my little boy is ready for school, I'll have to get book four, the Pilgrims, Pirates, and Patriots edition! Aargh!If you've got a child with an artistic bent (and even if you don't!), I think she would love the Draw and Write Through History books!

Creation Through Jonah is the first volume in a four-part series, covering the time from creation of the world (c. 6000-4000 B.C.) through Jonah (a contemporary of the first Olympics c. 760 B.C.) Biblical history is well-covered in this volume, as well as a variety of notable events from world history.Divided into eight major periods: Creation, Noahs Ark/Ice Age, The Tower of Babel, Egypt: The Pyramid Age, China, Joseph/Moses, Trojan Horse/David, and Jonah each features from one to four step-by-step how-to-draw art instructions and a cursive copywork passage. Written for children ages 8 and over, it can easily be adapted for younger students. A non-consumable book, the drawings and copywork is designed to be completed outside of the book, making it a rich resource for years to come.Peggy Dicks step-by-step instructions are wonderfully easy to follow, with the new segments of each drawing displayed in a lighter brown. Helpful suggestions are given for shading, colouring, etc with full-colour, completed illustrations excuted in coloured pencils included for imitation. Some brief historical information is shared, and the provided copywork example summarizes the historical event from a Christian-worldview.

This book is harder than some of the others but its supposed to be. This is only our second book and we are impressed. I just don't think my 9 year old is brave enough to try them yet but he is excited to try it after we go through book one!
