a light-hearted look at the past

* Evening Echo *

a very good book with loads of comics and make and do. There was loads of information about the Celts and Vikings in this book. It taught facts about history in a fun way … One of my favourite pages was the insult generator. Some of them were very funny. This is a World Book Day Book 2022. It would definitely be worth buying with your voucher … I would recommend this book for children age 7 – 10. I would give it 10/10
