Our librarians and children's book specialists' highest rated titles of the week.
It's funny and gruesome in equal measures. The topic has great appeal and it's a sure winner in this popular series. The chosen characters are a mix of well known and lesser known historical figures. They spread out from the awful ancients to the woeful second world war. They're interesting, full of fascinating facts and the reader can decide if they think they are true traitors. What a lot of devious people there are in the world! The illustrations are simple but effective and littered with jokes and silliness. It's great for reluctant readers and absorbing for fans of history. Good stuff.
