Average Rating:
 Rating: - Funny and InformativeThere has been some criticism of the Horrible Histories as misinformed and simplistic, but this particular volume is wonderful. I've studied the Aztecs by looking at the Florentine Codex and reading scholarly works on the subject, and the "Angry Aztecs" gets quite a lot of the information right. It is written so kids can understand it, but anyone with a sense of humor should enjoy it. It is certainly better than the 2 pages devoted to the Aztecs in the textbook I use to teach high school history! Rating: - AZTECS AND INCASExcellent product...as almost ALL of Terry Deary's works...highly recommend this for kids and adults (especially college students)! |
