Putting Fun into History and getting kids reading

We bought this for our 9-year-old boy for Christmas and he loves this book. It really got him reading with enthusiasm. Ever since he has very keen on history and I recently bought him a 20 box set of the Horrible History Series. If you like history for kids to be fun, entertaining and honest, this is for you.

A Teen's Point of View

This book, although not as interesting as others in the series (It spends too much time talking about gangsters) is still funny and informative. It teaches you a lot of stuff that's not in the textbooks!
