[Fanny Fern · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very funny and informative book. If I had this book when I was in primary school - I could have been really good at History.

[Madeleine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think this book is excellent so far and is going to be as good as the beginning of the book.

[Aleetha · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love reading this book. It is hilarious in some way. Unfortunately I can't keep it. I should have put it in safe place.

I wonder if there is another book.
