__________________________
A colourful and comical tour through history from cartoonists Mike Barfield and Jess Bradley.
The hilarious minds behind A Day in the Life of a Poo, a Gnu and You have teamed up once again – this time to give a taste of the daily lives of the people, animals and objects who made history.
Featuring a day in the life of early humans as they paint mammoths on the walls of a cave, a fierce gladiator battling in the Colosseum and the first woman in space. And not forgetting the animals of history – from an Egyptian cat (worshipped as a god, of course) to an albatross flying over Rapa Nui and a dog in the trenches of the First World War.
Readers can also discover the stories behind famous constructions, including the Great Wall of China and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and delve into the secret diaries of a Viking, Isaac Newton’s cat and the wooden panel that became the Mona Lisa.
With over 90 entries told in the friendly, informative style of Mike Barfield and brought to life by Jess Bradley’s brilliantly funny illustrations, this book will have children learning and laughing as they go.

Very funny, yet informative book giving snapshots of a day in the life of different people and objects, e.g. a vase, a wheel, a stone from Stonehenge, Neanderthals, farmers etc.

My book was factual and it interested me because every fact was like a mini story. There were diary's of things like tulips telling me how popular they were.

Lots of things were made in the past and make our future better like devices. A computer is a device that I look forward to getting better in the future. I want a lot of computers and a lot of touch screen on them to be faster on typing times tables.

I liked this book because it shows lots of different facts about different things that have happened in history in a fun, comical way. It also includes extracts from a secret diary of different historical things or people. My favourite comics from this book include the Movie Writer, the phone and the Ancient Olympian because they interest me a lot with the facts. I would recommend this book to people who like learning about the past and the present and probably 7+.
