Reviews
'Andy Seed has managed, with huge success, to bring history to life, just as Gareth Conway has animated the text with his lively cartoons and illustrations. It will be enjoyed by children of many ages, from Year 3 upwards, and would be a good resource for teachers to draw on in history lessons about, say, Ancient Egypt, Tudors, Aztecs, Celts and 'empire' the world over' * ReadingZone *
