Summary:

A new title in the 'Buster Backpack' series, this colourful activity book combines fun puzzles with over 100 fascinating historical facts.

Did you know ...

Ancient Egyptians often shaved off their eyebrows to show grief when their pet cats died.

The Vikings loved skiing and made skis out of wood for hunting and getting around. They even worshipped a god of skiing, called Ullr.

The book is packed with over 80 puzzles, including tangled lines, quizzes, spot-the-differences, silhouettes, odd-ones-out and more, all with a historical twist. Crack the clues to discover some fun facts about daily life in ancient Egypt, match ancient Greek theatre masks into pairs, solve the Tudor-themed wordsearch and search for items in a busy medieval castle scene.

With over 100 facts on a wide range of historical topics, from the Incas and the Aztecs to the Vikings and the Romans, there are plenty of amazing things for kids to discover while they complete the activities. Featuring gorgeous full-colour illustrations by artist Angie Alape Pérez, this is the perfect book to keep kids aged 7+ entertained for hours on end.
