Each book is brimming with facts, colour photography and illustration. With cool layouts and fun quizes they are so immersive and make for fantastic resources for learning. They will be a welcome addition to the children’s classroom. -- @raising_bookworms * 21/03/2024 * The Factology series is an incredible brand-new series of non-fiction books. Each one is beautifully presented in such an engaging way and contains maps, timelines, statistics and over 500 illustrations. Last year we read and enjoyed the other titles in the series (Egypt, Space, The Human Body, Bugs) so we were excited to add these new books to our collection! Each book is brimming with facts and answers some fascinating questions. * @family_book_club * These are a fun way to learn and rush through an incredible range of topics. In Romans we are introduced to the lives of the immensely powerful rulers as well as that of the slaves. We all thought that slaves were conquered tribes but you could also be put into slavery for falling into debt, so probably a good idea to be on good terms with the bank manager. * Happy Families blog * Each of these new titles in the series offers a fact-packed, fast paced introduction to the topic. Individual readers will choose according to their interest or perhaps on account of a current subject focus in their school. For instance the key stage 2 national curriculum requires that children learn about the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain. Each has full-colour photographs and illustrations together with an accessible, easy-to-follow, bite-sized text that offers a good introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is both clear and entertaining. I would advocate including all three books in both primary and secondary school collections. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub * Have you heard of the new educational series by Button Books - the Factology Series?
