Larry Gonick did western equivalents of these; Cartoon History of the Universe is either the best book I've ever read or the best comic book.
It's rather 70s though, so the art can get psychadelic and it covers several different religions as if they're literally true. But it has to be the only kids' history book written in the US that treats China and India's history as just as important as ours.

I love Gonick's books! I have his Cartoon Guide to Calculus, Modern History, and US History too! His bibliographies at the back of the books would make for excellent syllabuses
