What You Didn't Know About History
History books don't often ask questions. They just state information. But history lovers usually have lots to ask: How do we know the Thanksgiving in 1621 was the first? Why did the Pilgrims choose present-day Massachusetts for their settlement? Was an order given to start the shooting that became the Boston Massacre? Readers will learn the answers to these questions and more as they find out many details often left out of traditional history books. Historical images enhance the surprising content while fact boxes flesh out the social studies content even further. As it turns out, there's a lot we don't know about history!

Series Review: What You Didnt Know About History
More earnest than the You Wouldnt Want To series (Scholastic), and for a slightly younger audience, this set provides compelling details about day-to-day life in various American epochs. The simple design makes the books appealing to young readers. The accessible writing is straightforward and succinct. All in all, a first-rate series for budding historians.
