As well as the love of reading, I also seem to have passed on my love of history to the Mini Bookworm. He is 8 and I often find myself digging him out of a pile of “Horrible Histories” books just to tuck him in at night!

So when I saw the cover and concept of “A Day in the Life of a Caveman, a Queen and Everything Inbetween”, requesting a spot on the book tour was a no brainer.

This GORGEOUS book takes the concept of the illustrations within HH books and totally runs with it. The comic book style really spoke to the mini bookworm and really kept him engaged for a long period of time. In fact, when I asked him if he had any negative points for this review he thought for a very long time before finally saying “it just wasn’t long enough”.

The topics are presented in one page snippets – it’s not going to teach your kids all about one particular subject but, in my opinion, it is going to get them excited to learn more.

As a parent, I also really appreciated the progression of the topics into modern history. The civil rights page initiated a whole conversation about segregation and racism for example! Similarly, fossil fuels and global warming are factors that greatly affect our youngsters, but are presented in a really fun way.

Thank you to Mike Barfield and Jess Bradley for creating this wonderful book, and to Love Books Tours for giving the Mini Bookworm and I the opportunity to review it. As we live in the same county as Mike Barfield the Mini Bookworm did initially want to find him to be his friend, but apparently will settle for adding “A Day in the Life of a Poo, a Gnu and You” to his Christmas list!
