Reviews from Amazon: The books in the Horrible Histories series are fantastic, because they are written to entertain children from 9-13, and are full of facts, cartoons, lists, pictures and quizzes. This book, The Blitzed Brits, covers evacuation, gas masks, bombing, rationing, and dozens of true stories about children during the Second World War. As a teacher, I think it is brilliant because it makes the children want to read and find out more about the topic we are covering, it can be dipped into and the children are learning while having fun. Highly recommended. ----------------- Kids (aged 14 & 12) loved this book. It breaks down the story of the blitz into small readable chunks. Its fun to read, which they say makes it easy to understand, and I have been told many stories about how the children of the day survived. Its not the first "Horrible Histories" book that we have bought, and all of them give the same sort of easy reading format. Would recommend it to anyone.
