History’s Most Epic Fibs
Book Review
Sometimes people think history is boring but when they read this book it will change their minds
I enjoyed the book, especially the parts where it tells you about the fib you’re going to read. I most enjoyed the fib o ‘meter telling me if the fib was important or not and why.
I also liked the word choice and that the words were speaking to the reader. I liked that because it felt like the author was in the room talking to me about history.
Sometimes people think history is boring but when they read this book it will change their minds.
I liked the ‘fibs for thought’ and the ‘fact or fib?’ in between the fibs.
As well as the very good writing, I thought the illustrations were very artistic and creative.
I would suggest this book for 7- to 11-year-olds and maybe 12-year-olds if they are not a confident reader.
About the Book
History is full of brave knights, fearsome queens, legendary explorers and epic stories passed down through the ages. But how much of what we THINK we know about history is true? And how much is just an EPIC FIB? Read this book to find out!
From harmless porkies that were just a bit of fun, to terrible untruths with HUGE consequences, it’s time to separate fact from fiction.
Whether it’s revealing that Vikings never wore horned helmets and that famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra wasn’t actually, erm, Egyptian, this book reveals how much (or little) we really know about what people looked like in the past.
With dynamic illustrations by Nicole Mills included throughout, History’s Most Epic Fibs separates the truth from the historical whoppers and shows that when it comes to history, things aren’t always what they seem . . .
