Fun for kids and adults,

This review is from: Frightful First World War and the Woeful Second World War (Horrible Histories Collections) (Paperback)
I've read many of the books in this series and all are fun and enjoyable, especially the ones by Terry Deary. They give a basic overview of historical events or eras as well as some of the lesser known and usually grosser details. They also show kids how it may have felt to live through those specific times. They are written in a humourous light which will be quite appealing to the average 10 year old kid. I wish these books were around when I was a kid.
