    A Child's Geography The Holy Land
    Review by E.P
    We love, love, love this book and plan to continue the series. Because of a interest in the Holy land we decided to skip book one and go directly to book 2 to try it out. The book is beautifully done. Plenty of full color photographs, take an adventure through the text, and complete your journey with recipes, art and more with this experience. We will go back and get book 1 and continue with the rest of the series.
    Highly Recommend!

    Review by jennifer
    I used this with my daughter when she was in 4th Grade. She loved the colorful photos that brought what we were reading together to life! The text was very thorough and truly explained the culture of the different regions. Would like to see more simple and easy to grade assignments with each section of reading. Overall- we loved it!
    Amazing Resource!
    Review by Sarah
    We are absolutely loving *A Child's Geography Vol. 2: Explore the Holy Land*! This workbook is amazing—so easy to use and truly "open and go," which makes homeschooling so much simpler. There’s a wealth of information packed into each lesson, and it’s presented in a way that’s engaging and accessible for kids.

    My child loves it and looks forward to each new section, which makes it such a joy to teach. The content is not only informative but also really captures their interest, which is a big win for us!

    As always, we are so impressed with the quality of everything Master Books creates. They truly make learning enjoyable, and we can’t wait to explore more of their resources. Highly recommend this workbook to anyone looking to teach their kids about geography in an engaging and meaningful way!
    Loved!
    Review by Terena
    My daughter’s favorite part has been the recipes from around the world. I’ve enjoyed that it really goes hand and hand with World Story as are doing that right now as well, so she is learning about the countries while learning their history.
    Amazing geography course!
    Review by KD
    My son and I both love it, a real engaging way to learn geography. I would like to suggest maybe adding in missionaries or church history for each country. How the gospel spread in each place.
    Good
    Review by C
    This is a good history. Learned a lot about the holy land! Kids and I enjoyed it
    Great course!
    Review by Anika
    I purchased this course for my kids and they learned a lot! The only thing I would improve on are the maps. We often had to refer to a Bible atlas because we could not find all the answers or locations on maps the book included.
    LOVED IT
