Customer Reviews

Memorable!

This series is just such a delight! It is a joy to read and teach history on such and intersting level. The clever writing and illustrations makes it fun for the student. I highly recommend this entire series for anyone who wants their child to learn and love history!

Thoroughly enjoy this series

The books in this series manage to walk the delicate balance of being fun and humorous while still imparting a lot of knowledge to the reader. My three sons (8,7, and 5) couldn't put them down and neither could my husband and me. We homeschool and have encountered a lot of the topics in our history studies and were impressed by how much the books cover. We also liked how gross/disturbing concepts were softened by the amusing illustrations of david Antram. Very impressive. We plan to own them all.
