DS1 (nearly 6yo) has been learning about The Great Fire of London, does anyone know any good history books aimed at this age range?

[NatalieJane]

He is driving me mad talking about it, it doesn't interest me at all, so thought I'd get some back up!

Is there a series of good children's history books?

.

go into the library and have a good look
there are lots of good history books
Dorling Kindersley are usually very good
also the horrible history series fr that age is good too
Stuff by Terry Deary

Reviews suggest this might be just the ticket for you Natalie

ooh dd did this

at the end of the week they had to perform the great fire by standing in the hall waving orange streamers

also we got model burning building to bring home

make a model burning building out of junk

Was it made out of Greggs sausage roll papers Capp?

Thanks everyone, will get on the case, anything to shut him up about it! If I have to listen to anymore about sodding Baker street, I think I might go and burn it all down again.

dd1 did this last year and loved it too. I've just bought her this about London - it's incredibly detailed with lovely flaps to see what people's lives have been like over the centuries in the city

no of course not they are not orange

honestly

OMG somone is selling that book for £200+

here is a deffo brill school website

Bundle, that looks like it might hit the spot, thanks for link

NatalieJane not sure if it has got the Fire in it, but tis fab book anyway. dd1 made a lovely white middle ages type house with "real" flames

Oh bugger it, it must be on the firs of london, think I will go for that first link then, but not the £200+ one! Looks like it part of a series to build up, which is sort of what I what I was looking for anyway.

Ta very muchly all

my dd did this last year and it made such an impression on her. can you get to london tothe museum of the docklands? they have some great stuff on it, really brought it to life.

Oh good god no, I will be quite happy to never ever have to go to London again! Everytime I have been I have hated every second of it. How people live there.....?

A book or two will do!!

DD2 loved this one She is a big history nut.
