The Blizted Brits is a fantastic book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blitzed Brits (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
The Blitzed Brits is a fantastic read which uses a informal way of teaching history to young children (13-16). The book includes humerous stories based on real life events and quizes at the end of each chapter to see what you learnt, or just for fun.

The Blitzed Brits,
This review is from: The Blitzed Brits (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
The books in the Horrible Histories series are fantastic, because they are written to entertain children from 9-13, and are full of facts, cartoons, lists, pictures and quizzes. This book, The Blitzed Brits, covers evacuation, gas masks, bombing, rationing, and dozens of true stories about children during the Second World War.As a teacher, I think it is brilliant because it makes the children want to read and find out more about the topic we are covering, it can be dipped into and the children are learning while having fun. Highly recommended.

......`History has never been so horrible!',

This review is from: The Blitzed Brits (Horrible Histories) (Paperback)
Can you imagine life without television, road signs and bananas?
Or only having enough clothing coupons to buy a small pair of knickers? Not to mention the late-night bombing raids. These were just some of the hardships for the people who stayed at home in World War Two - the blitzed Brits. Want to know:- what really happened in Dad's Army? how to make a rude noise with a gas mask? why the blitzed Brits ate chicken-fruit, sinkers and nutty? Read on for some spiffing slang, foul food facts about rotten rationing, awful evacuation tales, and the terrible truth about London's bloodthirsty blackout murderer.' A witty, colourful cover opens to 128 pages, split over 14 chapters:- Blitzed Brit timeline Beat the blitz The bothersome blackout Grotty gas masks Blitzed Brit kids Evils of evacuation Rotten rationing Rotten rationed recipes The black market Famous firsts of wartime The Home Front The Royal Family Potty poems Wartime words with an introduction and an epilogue. Written with the typical Deary humour, and illustrations from Kate Sheppard throughout. `Did you know? On Friday 1st September 1939 the service to the 2000 televisions in Britain was stopped. There was no television again until 1946. Seven years without television .... ....today some people can't go seven minutes!....'
