- I cannot adequately express my excitement over your new Time Travelers History line! It is exactly what I am looking for in terms of hands-on projects, without much of the things I'll never use in a typical unit study....We had planned to cover the Ancients next year, but now I may want to reconsider!Thank for you offering such consistently exceptional materials! You products fill a much-needed void. - Sabrina Pearce
