"""Equally rewarding for sustained dives or random dips."" —Kirkus ""I thought this book was amazing because it has cool features and facts about the world and history...and is fun."" —Alexander, age 8 “'This Day in History for Kids' is a great book for amazing facts that you can learn each day. Each page has one or two calendar days featured, so I can read a small part every day and learn a little bit about a lot of new and interesting things.... The dates are fun because you can look for what happened on your birthday, and I think it’s really fascinating to learn the dates for things like the Trojan Horse. Everyone knows it happened, but I never knew when. Also, every page has extremely funny jokes in the facts. I really recommend this book!"" —Archer, age 10 ""Very cool and interesting...would reccomend to a friend."" —Wyatt, age 10"
