Follow two kids and their cheeky puppy on a chase across time in this fascinating and funny interactive introduction to history at its grandest … and its most gruesome, by debut author-illustrator Clara Booth.
Traversing Ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire to the French Revolution and New York’s Roaring ‘20s, this book combines the seek-and-find fun of Where’s Waldo? with the irreverent hilarity of Horrible Histories. In each era, readers are encouraged to search through a busy illustrated scene where key people and objects are hiding. On the following spread, well-researched and playfully told facts accompany illustrated vignettes, adding insight to what the reader has found.
From the Tang dynasty in China to the Aztec culture in the Valley of Mexico, and the dirty streets of Tudor London, Lost and Found in History is an exciting immersion in different time periods that will delight young history lovers.
