Praise for That's So Gross!: History

Mitch knows more totally useless things about useless subjects than anybody on Earth

Chris Tarrant

Animals, creepy crawlies and the human body are tackled in a Horrible Histories way, and each book is packed with the sort of disgusting trivia that delights children under eight.

Toby Clements, The Telegraph

This is just the sort of information to give children a background to history and hopefully encourage them to delve a little deeper into this fascinating subject. They will love to appal parents, friends and teachers with the gruesome facts in the book - and the illustrations are just as gruesome.
