What is this book?
History for a Class 6 student begins at the beginning: the first great civilisations. The book moves from Mesopotamia and Egypt to the Indus Valley and ancient China, then to Persia, Greece and Rome, then to the Aryans, Mauryans, Kushans and Guptas of South Asia, and ends with the beginning of Islam.
Because the story is told as a sequence of civilisations, a student can build a timeline in their head, and each chapter's Test yourself page checks the main facts. The Indus Valley chapter is especially close to home, because it is about a civilisation that grew up in the land that is now Pakistan.

Look at pictures and maps in the book and ask what they tell us about how people lived. Use the Test yourself page at the end of each chapter as a quick quiz, and the glossary on page 81 to learn the new words.
