If you have ever looked at or purchased Amy Pak’s HISTORY Through the Ages Timeline Figures, you know how beautiful her work is. A perfect compliment to her timeline figures, Amy Pak has created a beautiful timeline notebook, which is truly a work of art. The Record of Time is 12” x 9” and features 122 dated timeline pages, including 17 map pages for adding notes and illustrations during geography lessons. The notebook pages are spiral-bound to lay flat, but surrounded by a sturdy hardcover in order to withstand years of use and still retain its beauty. The timeline pages feature a bold dated timeline running horizontally across the pages with fainter ruled lines for easy notation and labeling. Sprinkled throughout the pages near the top or bottom are occasional quotes from various historical figures. The pages are the perfect weight for young hands to turn without tearing. I love the cream-colored pages (they match some of the coloring found on the beautifully illustrated cover of the Record of Time), but there is quite a contrast when putting timeline figures that have been printed on white paper/cardstock into the notebook.

Oh, in case you have ever wondered how to get all of Amy’s timeline figures to fit in a timeline notebook – she has created a Suggested Placement Guide, which is a perfect tool for determining the proper placement of figures in order to insure they all fit! Although it was created for use with both the HISTORY Through the Ages Timeline Figures and Record of Time notebook, I have found it to be an invaluable tool for use with ANY timeline notebook.

Timelines help children get the “big picture” of history and notebooks allow each child to use their own interests and talents to create one-of-a-kind history books. With its sturdy craftsmanship and roomy, beautiful pages, the Record of Time is destined to be a keepsake your family will treasure for years to come!
