I read A History of US. Hakim's book gives a different look at what history books should look like. The layout of the text is much more interesting than what our history books looked like or sounded like. I would like to see a book that would give examples of what first grade history books would look like using this style. The story telling method and connecting to history is definitely what our students need. The integration of history into our Language Arts classes is how we can "fit it in" to our busy schedules as teachers. We can connect with our left and right brain learners in this way. I like how the timeline is at the end of the book to connect the storytelling method to the dates/events method.
