|summary=You may not think it from my writing, but I actually have a degree in history. Some of this was on the Roman Empire, but even I struggle to remember what happened when during the time period. The Republic and Empire spanned hundreds of years, so Alexander rocking up with his elephants did not happen anywhere near the rise of Julius Caesar. Modern youths would not think to shove the invention of the microchip in with the Napoleonic Wars, so why would you do this with Rome? Kids need a simple book that tells them about the Roman Empire, but also puts it all in a context and timeline they can understand.

|summary=Little Mouse is learning to write. Actually, you don't just learn to write, you have to learn to hold and use a pencil and to control it so that the point goes where you want it to. Pencils - and particularly crayons - have a mind of their own, you know! So, we start of with the tripod grip and some tips about what to do if you find that difficult. Then we're straight into the action, starting with drawing a straight line from side to side and to see what's required we have a footballer kicking a ball in the direction we're going to go. There are fifteen examples where you trace the line, just so you get the hang of it and then you get to have a go on your own.
