Why do we remember?: The Great Fire of London

Description

A simple, friendly first history series that takes a close look at some key events and personalities through history and reveals how and why they are still important to us today. Each book uses a rich variety of historical sources, from diaries to paintings, to bring events to life, while simple historical vocabulary is introduced and explained.

Izzi Howell is an editor and author of books for children.

I really like the approach taken by the book -- it makes history enjoyable, accessible and relevant. It is well-written and excellently illustrated, and poses questions that will encourage children to think about their learning * Parents In Touch * Delightful as an information source and an entertaining read ... a most satisfying approach to history for young children * School Librarian *
