Narrative Concering Books The Blitzed Brits (Horrible Histories #6)
The 'Horrible Histories' series of books are, without doubt, one of the most imaginative ways to introduce KS2 to history. The combination of easy to read text and cartoon style graphics is ideal for the younger reader, enabling the easy absorption of important historic information in a fun and entertaining way.Horrible Histories - The Blitzed Brits is an excellent summation of day to day life in London and elsewhere doing the aerial bombardment of the early years of the war, and the experiences of London during the days and nights of the V1 doodlebugs. The book's style is light hearted but thoroughly engaging and gives the reader an understanding of life from the perspective of ordinary civilians, rather than the fighting soldier on the front line. Illustrator Kate Sheppard’s art perfectly matches Terry Deary’s text making the book both enlightening and easy to follow.
The book contains a wide variety of facts and figures to aid a child’s understanding of daily life, but also a range of stories of real life experiences, including the lives of the young evacuees, the effect of rationing, the blackouts and a rather interesting section on rhymes and poetry of the time. The book includes short quizzes, memory prompts and small ‘knowledge tests’ throughout the book. All in all an excellent read.

So this is the end, i have finally finished all of the horrible histories books. It's been one hell of an hilarious and gruesome journey through time! It was just a shame that it had to end on such a steep slope. There was many things wrong, the biggest of them all is the illustrator is different and as a big fan of the book and art it was just disconnecting, it took me out wanting to learn as it was the comic cartoons that drew me in. As for the book, well the facts are as always spot on, butI'd been aiming for this series since it first showed up at Book Xcess. Now, when I went to BBW, I'd the chance to browse through the books and I bought the whole set. I finished the first book last night, it was entertaining despite the gruesome facts, but Terry wrote with such wittiness and enthusiasm which made the histories much more interesting. If the history books were revamped and wrote like this one, definitely children and adults alike would love reading histories. Hurrah for the
Okay let's talk about the Horrible Histories.You may be aware of them as a TV show, which I highly, highly recommend, but you may not be aware that they are also books! Which I also recommend!It's hard to talk about the Horrible Histories specifically. They're hysterical short nonfiction books consisting of maybe 120 pages tops? Aimed at children, they set out to tell you all about the really nasty side of history, which I am always down for. They're smart and funny with great illustrations, and
Love this series!
For a pretty serious topic, Deary makes the Blitz history readable and somewhat comprehendible for young readers. I couldn't get enough of Terry Deary when I was like 9 or 10. I devoured every Horrible Histories book I could get my hands on.
A unique view of the courage of the British people during world war 2 whislt not forgetting that there are innocents of both sides of a war and every story has two perspectives
The British were indeed paying high cost for their victory in World War II. This book explained the horrible things that happened, although in a more hilarious way, like falling bombs, evacuees who were forced to live with mean hosts only to found out that they got nowhere to return, and also the massive blackouts.
