Description
Did you know Theodore Roosevelt wrote a book for children?He did. He wrote a book to teach character and virtue through the stories of American History. He’s been called “The Most Interesting American” and his book is just that! We’ve made it even more interesting, though, by turning it into an audiobook and adding sound effects, too. Ships creaking, gulls cawing, cannon fire, even angry French mobs come together to make history they’ll never forget… “He then told us that he enjoyed them so very much that he wanted to know if we would allow him and his baby brother to listen to them every night from now on while they fall asleep instead of the music that I usually play. Now if that is not a positive endorsement, I don’t know what is.” -Nicole, MO Learn History on the Drive Home!Each CD is one hour long and each story is 7 to 11 minutes long. Appropriate for all ages. Hero Tales From American HistoryA GREAT GIFT FOR YOUR FAMILY AND OTHERS! |

We have thoroughly enjoyed these CDs! We listen to them as a family on long trips in the van. My children are only 7 and 5, so we’re planning to listen many times again before high school graduation. 😊

We gave this set to my son last Christmas when he was 7. He has listened to these many times during his afternoon “quiet time”. He has recalled many facts from history from these audiobooks and is able to connect them to the same time period when we are studying it in history.

Got these at a home school convention several years ago and have listened to them several time since. Well read and easy to listen to these inspiring true stories make great discussion topics and will help you teach your children Christian character. You can always go back and get more book learning but if you don’t have character you will never go far. Our home school always put our first emphasis on Christian character and book learning would take a back seat if we needed to focus on character. These audio CDs are a fun way to teach character especially on those long commutes and road trips.
