Further reading suggestion: Children who are hooked on history by this book and want to find out more about what happened beyond these shores will love [[The Comic Strip History of the World by Sally Kindberg and Tracey Turner]]. For another one which will have them hooked – although possibly quivering! - [[Bad Kids: the Worst-Behaved Children in History by Tony Robinson]] is an excellent, if slightly macabre, look at horrible children and terrible punishments.
