A primary reading series developed with UCL Institute of Education to help children become confident, independent readers.
A simple, friendly first history series that takes a close look at some key events and personalities through history and reveals how and why they are still important to us today. Each book uses a rich variety of historical sources, from diaries to paintings, to bring events to life, while simple historical vocabulary is introduced and explained.
Reviews
Delightful as an information source and an entertaining read ... a most satisfying approach to history for young children
I really like the approach taken by the book -- it makes history enjoyable, accessible and relevant. It is well-written and excellently illustrated, and poses questions that will encourage children to think about their learning
