Great Explorers of the World: Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, Vasco Da Gama, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Captain Cook, Lewis and Clark, Livingstone and Stanley, the Apollo Mission to the Moon

This is wonderful!!! So much detail and information in a fun style - easy to listen to while in the car - my son has played it over and over - we are now experts on Marco Polo, Vasco Da Gama, Magellan and Ibn Battuta (who? see how easy it is to learn stuff!!)Has lead to lots of discussions on navigation and explorers, colonialism, oppression, spices - all sorts of things.I think if you have a child who particularly enjoys factual stories that combine adventure and discovery they will like this - and they will be learning history too!

This audio CD book, alongside with other Naxos educational CDs for children, is absolutely fantastic. It contains loads of information, so adults interest is guaranteed as well as children's fascination. It's a must for curious little minds. Presented in an easy listening format, it educates and enterntains at the same time. Boring car journeys became a highly enjoyable and educational experiences in our family since Naxos CDs were purchased. Being non-fiction, they can be listened to over and over again, offering a chance for the child to remember and/or understand more details each time.

My kids and I really enjoyed listening to these stories on long car journeys. I especially liked the narrator's voice. The stories are entertaining as well as educational and I learned more than I had known already about these famous people. I look forward to buying more in the series.

Excellent way to pass the journey with the children and they are learning too. The narrators are easily to listen to and the content is very easy to follow. Wish I could buy more of these.

A great collection of stories of adventurers that kept the kids quiet for 3 hours on a car trip and also fired their imaginations too. Was going to give 4 stars but deserves 5

love these so well done and so much information

A fabulous CD, and I have leant it to my brother and he thought it was great too. Neither of us are nerds.

OK
