Fun History
A fun way to tell history stories (a lot like Horrible Histories in the way it's presented). Great for age 5-8 to learn little lessons (and parents can learn some interesting and funny facts, too). I've bought Elizabeth 1st, Henry 8th, and Beatles versions of these books and love them all.
