This Advdenture in Odyssey series is great. My daughter is 7 years old. She enjoyed listening to the program, and could easily relate to the young characters and their exciting adventure through history. She learned something about history that she will likely not learn in school... our founding Fathers trusted God to lead them. This includes four great lessons in History and Morality, all the time entertaining young and old alike.
Adventures in Odyssey is one of the coolest story sets on cd ever. I love knowing that my daughter is listening to Christian stories and with this one, Christian history. Hands down, awesome product, must buy!
Wonderful set! We're using these as a supplement to our Christian-based American History lessons for our home school. Even though they are geared for older children, my 3 and 5 year olds find them entertaining and love listening to them in the evenings before bed.
We received this set as a gift and my children (and I) have loved it! We love listening to audiobooks and this was our first Adventures in Odyssey set. my 4 year old begs and begs to listen to these constantly and my 7 year old really enjoys them. I really appreciated the handling of these history stories, not trying to just brush aside the undesirable parts of our nation's history, neither does it glamorize or try to justify them. The stories are fun and exciting, but educational and serious. The only one I "edited" was the one about the underground railroad. I skipped over the part where the mom dies for the sake of my 4 year old, though we did talk about it.Younger children (2-5) who aren't used to listening to stories like this might not find these as enjoyable until they get older (6-8), and the death and fighting might be a little heavy for more sensitive children, but our whole family has really enjoyed this.
Odyssey never disappoints. "For God and Country" was no exception. We loved listen to the excellent recreations of important American events. If you want history to "come to life" for the whole family, this is quite possible the best purchase you can make.
We love the Odyssey series and I decided to get this one for my homeschooled 2nd grader. He loves science, but doesn't really care about history. Until these cds. He is enthralled by them and it's opened up great conversations between us. Best part? I like listening to them, too.
I give all the Adventures in Odyssey a 5 star rating! I originally bought a short CD for my daughters to listen to as they fell asleep at night, but after hearing one of the episodes in the car one day, my husband and I got hooked! These are fantastic. They are entertaining, have great moral lessons, include facts and stories from history, and use talented voice artists. I HIGHLY recommend these audio CD's. They are now on every birthday and Christmas list!
