Product Description

Junior Education
genuinely resonates with the atmosphere of a Victorian school day. -

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 )

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique and educating take on a fascinating topic., 8 Mar 2002
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it so much, I wish I'd written it!, 9 Mar 2002
By Mrs. Lynn Huggins -. Cooper (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is good, entertaining, and informative., 2 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: You Wouldn't Want to be a Victorian Schoolchild (You Wouldn't Want to be...) (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.
