You Wouldn't Want to Sail with Christopher Columbus!

Fiona Macdonald, 2004

This fun and interesting, interactive series will enthrall young readers by making them a part of the story. Readers will become the main character and can revel in the gory, dark, horrific side of life throughout important moments in history. Humorous «Handy Hints» that relate directly to the text are provided on each spread. You (the reader) are a young boy living in a coastal village in Spain during the late 15th century. It's your dream to become an explorer, and you jump at the chance to join Christopher Columbus on his voyage to find a new route to Asia. Learn what tools are used for navigation, what life is like on a 15th-century sailing ship, and how Columbus accidentally finds the West Indies. After reading this book there will be no doubt in your mind that these are uncharted waters you'd rather not cross. Подробнее

Fiona MacDonald, 2003

This delightful series brings something unusual to the study of history: humor. You Wouldn't Want to... revels in the darker side of life in ancient times.

Hilarious illustrations, captions, and sidebars leave no doubt that you simply wouldn't want to be there. You'll have to pay an entry fee to land a job as a medieval gaoler! Sure, you could grow rich taking bribes from prisoners. You might even make enough money to retire — unless the enemies you make (and you'll make a lot!) find a reason to toss you in the dungeon too... Подробнее
