Talk:Horrible Histories (book series)

Horrible Science and Horrible Geography books don't have the same writer of illustrator. Horrible Science (written by Nick Arnold and illustrated by Tony de Saulle) and Horrible Geography (written by Anita Ganeri illustrated by Mike Phillips). So I have made the appropriate changes.Saul Taylor

I propose changing the format of the individual book entries, to provide a more direct (kidocentric) jumping off point for our little visitors. Rather than:

• The Awesome Egyptians (1993) - (Ancient Egypt)

I propose:

• The Awesome Egyptians about Ancient Egypt, including Egyptian gods and godesses, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Sphinx, and lots of Pharaohes. It was published in 1993. ISBN 0590195697.

I'd rather have a mix between the two: The Awesome Egyptians (1993) (Ancient Egypt, including Egyptian gods and godesses, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Sphinx, andPharaohes.) ISBN 0590195697. Saul Taylor

How reliable are the Horrible books in general? I've encountered several things in there that are not mentioned (or are contradicted) in other books, such as the use of tear gas to test gas masks (mentioned in the Blitzed Brits)

In addition to the other imitations/similar titles there is the "what they don't tell you about..." series. Someone might like to include that.

Section order

I think the order of the sections should be changed. Why is "Controversy" first? Please decide on an order. Samurai 004 07:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
