Horrible Histories, the series

Have you ever thought history books where boring? Well actually it's fun stuff, because there are Horrible Histories!! These books are based on a civilization or a period known to the world because something big happened. These books make the boring facts into very very interesting facts. If you ever come upon a Horrible Histories book then I reckon you that you will find it fun. One very interesting Horrible Histories book is 'The Blitzed Brits'. This book gives you facts about how the Brits lived like in the Second World War. For example: what they ate, rationing, gas masks and lots more! One very cool fact is that the government persuaded children to wear gas masks by making  'fun masks'. One example was the Mickey Mouse mask. One thing that the kids found out was the if you wore the mask and blew very hard, the air rushed out of the side and made a very rude noise!

This is the Mickey Mouse mask  

Hope you enjoyed reading this and buy a Horrible Histories book at you nearest bookstore!
P.S Remember, history is never boring with Horrible Histories!
