Description

BRAND NEW, Exactly same ISBN as listed, Please double check ISBN carefully before ordering. Review: Irreverently British, this humorous look at history entertains - Irreverently British, this humorous look at history entertains and educates. If you're easily offended or don't understand Monty Python, then avoid. If you do like Monty Python, this is geared more appropriately towards children. It does have a Mad magazine type of irreverence, which may not be for everyone. Not exactly politically correct, but they mock what they find stupid, crossing cultural boundaries, often mocking Brits and Europeans but also other cultures. And it doesn't dwell on the positive aspects of history. But it just may get your kids actually interested in history. My ten year old son says: "Very, very, very good." Get your kids away from the screens and buy them a boxed set of paperbacks. We did and aren't sorry! (Incidentally, did you know you can unplug your Wi-Fi and the world still turns? Try it. Clear your mind. Pull the power cord on your modem. Open a book. When you want the Wi-Fi back, plug the modem back in and it'll reboot in under 5 minutes.) Review: Entertaining and informative - Makes history bearable for my son. Very informative and entertaining. He actually enjoys the witty humor and will sit and read these. For any kid who doesn’t want to read history try these books.
