Ten Kings and the Worlds they Ruled by Milton Meltzer

Rating: 6.5/10

For those interested, the Ten Kings are Hammurabi, David, Alexander the Great, Attila,Charlemagne, Mansa Musa, Atahualpa, Louis XIV, and Peter the Great. 

Basically this book gives a summary of each king and their reign.  Their is a lot of text, and while it is interesting, we just couldn't get engaged in the stories we have done up to this point.  I did a lot of summarizing and skipping over sections that weren't interesting.  For an older child, in Core 6, this could be a read-aloud, but I think we can find the same information in a more engaging format.
