Can anyone recommend a book on World History for my 8 year old DD, please?

She's got really into history thanks to Horrible History and wants a book on history for Christmas. Could be World history or any good reference book for her.

TIA.

Horrible Histories have a box set being sold on The Book People.

I bought it for my nephew but I quite fancy reading them all myself first :)

The Story of the World books.

Thanks Kami. I'm going to have a look.

Have you looked at the Oxford childrens History of the World. Covers everything! We always take it out at our Local library and discover something new in it each time!

[lordsugarslovechild]

Oh, you guys. I just bought all of them for me her. Thanks .

A Little History of the World by EH Gombrich- although I remember it focusing on European mostly.

Not world history, but The Story of Britain is good. Its also a nice illustrated hardback so would make a lovely present. (We got our copy cheap from the Book People, I think £6.99, not sure if they're still doing it.)

Try Kings and Queens, by Tony Robinson (Baldrick)
I looked on amazon and it's reduced, probably more recommendations there too
