Thanks to the friendly people at Scholastic, I can follow up BigB’s reviews of the Wicked History biographies of Francisco Pizarro, Cixi, Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great with a giveaway. Yay!
Scholastic has kindly donated the latest titles in this fun series for independent readers: Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Otto Von Bismark and Alexander the Great. If you’re planning a trip to Italy, France or Germany, these will be a great way to help your child learn about the history of the country before you travel. If you don’t have plans to go anywhere, don’t despair, a good book is always a great vehicle for some excellent armchair family travel.
This giveaway will run from today, March 31st to midnight on April 7th.
This giveaway is now closed.

My boys both love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books right now, but they also enjoy magazines like Nick and NatGeo for Kids!
I’m now a fan on Facebook too!
I love history in the form of stories and people, but right now we are hooked on a series that talks about locations in the form of stories. The series is “Wright on Time” and it follows a family that travels through the US. We are now reading about caving in Arizona. We also have New Mexico but haven’t started it yet. The author is Lisa M. Cottrell-Bentley. We may be able to travel more and get a taste of world history in the future, but for now this is a good start.
