DS, who has just turned six, was given a copy of the Horrible History 'England' book. Lovely, I thought. History is fascinating & I'm keen to encourage his interest in it. I flicked it open to have a quick glance through, expecting to come across a bit of toilet humour. The first paragraph I read, entitled 'deadly dads' was about parents, in AD 6 something or other, eating their own children during a famine. Actually found that pretty traumatic reading myself.. not something I want to put in the hands of my (probably averagely sensitive) six year old! Am I being ott?? Missing something?? What ages are these books aimed at?
