Representaion In Favor Of Books The Blitzed Brits (Horrible Histories #6)

The 'Horrible Histories' series of books are, without doubt, one of the most imaginative ways to introduce KS2 to history. The combination of easy to read text and cartoon style graphics is ideal for the younger reader, enabling the easy absorption of important historic information in a fun and entertaining way.

Horrible Histories - The Blitzed Brits is an excellent summation of day to day life in London and elsewhere doing the aerial bombardment of the early years of the war, and the experiences of London during the days and nights of the V1 doodlebugs. The book's style is light hearted but thoroughly engaging and gives the reader an understanding of life from the perspective of ordinary civilians, rather than the fighting soldier on the front line. Illustrator Kate Sheppard’s art perfectly matches Terry Deary’s text making the book both enlightening and easy to follow.
The book contains a wide variety of facts and figures to aid a child’s understanding of daily life, but also a range of stories of real life experiences, including the lives of the young evacuees, the effect of rationing, the blackouts and a rather interesting section on rhymes and poetry of the time. The book includes short quizzes, memory prompts and small ‘knowledge tests’ throughout the book. All in all an excellent read.

Okay let's talk about the Horrible Histories.You may be aware of them as a TV show, which I highly, highly recommend, but you may not be aware that they are also books! Which I also recommend!It's hard to talk about the Horrible Histories specifically. They're hysterical short nonfiction books consisting of maybe 120 pages tops? Aimed at children, they set out to tell you all about the really nasty side of history, which I am always down for. They're smart and funny with great illustrations, and

I think these were the only history books I read until I was 20 years old. It sufficed!Obviously it's not good for your only exposure to history to be the 100 most dramatic moments, the 100 most elite and unrepresentative people. (For each page of a regular history book I should imagine the lives of a thousand peasants.) But very few people have any grasp of history beyond this superficial roll call, so it didn't hurt me much to delay it.Our need for "people's history" is great: it at least has

Another good book in the series.Your grandmother can tell you more.Some genuinely funny scenes.

3.5 stars. The TV version of Horrible Histories (before the 6th season) is still one of my favourite British comedy shows.

Just re-reading this book. It gives great accounts of life stories that would interest a student. For example, tales of how it felt to be sent out to the country to live with a new family from all the viewpoints. It also stated that thousands of kids returned to find that their families had disappeared. That is something I had never imagined happening in England. The first-hand accounts will make it come alive for someone, but most American kids don't hear about this until 10th grade, so they

As a child history was one of my favourite school subjects thus making Horrible Histories the perfect books for me.Nowadays children have the television series yet I belong to the older group that had the books. Personally, I believe any child who has an interest in history should give these books a go. Theyre truly gripping and so many topics are covered. Honestly, Horrible Histories are well worth a read.

Fun and interesting take on history. Technically a kid's book, but I know a lot of adults who would like it.
