This 2 disc audiobook set covers over 2 and a half hours of stories featuring some of the world's greatest explorers. As a homeschooling Mom, this set has been a valuable resource. Our children have been able to learn without having to read in a book, they can listen anywhere (car, outside, their rooms, etc) and it helps make the lives of these great explorers seem real and personal and not just something they read about in History & Geography. I highly recommend this set to anyone who has children or families who homeschool. (read more)
