Perfect for children starting to explore non-fiction, it turns classroom topics into exciting home reading and curiosity about the civilisations that shaped our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach of the ten Usborne Beginners titles follows the same trusted formula: simple, engaging text paired with colourful illustrations, maps and helpful diagrams that make history click for early readers. Stone Age and Iron Age explore how our ancestors hunted, farmed and built early settlements, while Celts and Romans reveal the daily lives and conflicts of ancient Britain and its invaders. Egyptians uncovers pyramids, pharaohs and mummies, and Ancient Greeks introduces the philosophers and everyday life of a civilisation that shaped modern thinking. Vikings takes readers aboard longships to discover Norse homes, feasts and gods, while The Maya reveals the temples and cities of a remarkable ancient civilisation. Castles explains how these fortresses were built and defended, and Digging Up the Past rounds off the set with a look at archaeology itself — how experts uncover and interpret clues from the past. Together, the ten hardback books form a well-rounded introduction to world history, ideal for supporting Key Stage 1 topics or simply feeding curiosity about the past. Short sections, clear headings and bite-sized facts make these books well suited to children reading independently for the first time, as well as being ideal for reading aloud together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen sturdy hardback books covering key historical civilisations and periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, simple language ideal for developing and independent readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColourful illustrations, maps and diagrams support understanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for supporting Key Stage 1 history topics at school\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size, perfect for a book corner, shelf or school bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA lasting gift set for curious young historians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis collection brings together experienced Usborne Beginners authors, including Emily Bone, Leonie Pratt, Lisa Jane Gillespie and Jerome Martin, each specialising in accessible non-fiction for young readers.
