Apparently the ancient Greeks were a rather groovy bunch. The boys
didn’t start school until they were seven, and girls didn’t have
to go at all. But it wasn’t always so jolly. Readers can discover
why girls ran about naked pretending to be bears, who had the
world’s first flushing toilet and why dedicated doctors tasted their
patients’ ear wax!

History with the nasty bits left in! 2013 is HORRIBLE HISTORIES twentieth anniversary.

Groovy Greeks is a good book if you want to learn history and have a laugh.

I would recommend this book, it was very funny and told me lots about the ancient Greek culture. It told me how the Romans invaded Greece at the end of the Greek empire and how Greek weapons and life was evolved over the years with some cracking jokes about the Greek Olympics and Greek Kings.

It is a ver good book which goes into detail and sometimes jokes can come up and they can really broghten your day. If you ever had to learn about anything ancient you would have to search through horrible histories because they have everything you need

It was really interesting because inside the book it gave me many ideas for what to write down for my stories.

This book has taught me a lot about Ancient Greece and I enjoy it. My favourite part is when the Ancient Greece people play the Olympics and they had to be naked to do all of the sports. My least favourite part is when the they have to eat raw pigs.

I enjoyed reading this book almost as much as the Terrible Tudors (which is my favourite Horrible Histories book).
