Product Description
Review
'You Wouldn't Want to Be a Victorian Schoolchild!' genuinely resonates with the atmosphere of a Victorian school day. The teachers are suitably nasty, the pupils are suitably naughty, and the humorous attention to detail in the illustrations will make for an engaging look at Victorian school days. (Junior Education )
Product Description
Growing up in Britain in the 1880s wasn't easy. For a young child in school the going is tough and the punishments are hard. Readers will follow the experiences of Victorian schoolchildren and will learn some top tips on survival at school. Suddenly modern-day school won't seem quite so bad, as readers discover that they really wouldn't want to be a Victorian schoolchild!

John Malam has a real touch when it comes to making "school" topics riveting and this book is no exception. Whether this book is being used in the classroom or for pleasure it is sure to amuse. Packed full of fascinating, and sometimes shocking, facts about our Victorian ancestors, it is very well laid out. This is one of the best non-fiction history books for children I have seen.

Fabulous book - made my kids laugh out loud! This is how history needs to be presented in school - makes it 'come to life'.
As a writer myself, I feel a curious mixture of delight and envy as I read this book...

Format:Hardcover
This book provides modern young children with an idea of what it was like to be them but in 19th century England.
It is good. It is entertaining. It is informative. And it does seem to be well researched.
So, I would recommend it and agree with the favorable review of the Guardian newspaper.
