I think children should read this book because it is a very educational history book with lots of really gruesome and funny facts!!!!!!! I also love this book because the illustrator is so imaginable with his creative drawings and his artwork and colour, he puts so much detail into his brilliant drawings!!!!! I think children who like history will love this book if they haven't read it before. It is really funny to read!!!!!!

I think children should read this book because it is very educational history and it tells more gruesome and funny facts than the normal collection of books in the series. I also really like the great illustrator Martin Brown who makes fantastic illustrations with such detail and quality, and his colour is really great, with it looking so realistic as in the past. So I should think children should read this fantastic horrible histories book with it's really funny funny facts and gruesome history!!!!!!!
