You Wouldn't Want To... Series

The You Wouldn’t Want To… series is an entertaining and educational way of looking at some of the more grisly periods of history. By providing cartoons, helpful hints, and eyewitness narrative, children are introduced to particular historical events, people, and movements that have made history. These nonfiction books are great tools that help children understand how history was shaped and changed. In the Children’s Department, we recently added many of the You Wouldn’t Want To… books to our collection. Here are some of the newer ones we just received today:
