The Great Fire of London

This series is an introduction to history for young children, who are encouraged to "discover" history on the page.

Key information is presented through a combination of simple, clear text and strong visual images.

Questions ask the reader to search for visual clues, identifying differences and similarities between different periods.

The large format of the book enhances this, presenting an opportunity for detailed exploration and discussion.

Key words relating to both the topic in hand and the passing of time are highlighted, and then repeated in a border on each page, while in certain titles a final spread invites the reader to retell the story, using the picture and the word clues.
