We are a multi cultural society, and kids are strongly encouraged to read here. It's the only reason I moved back the UK... the schools for my kids are first rate. scholastic.co.uk The two subjects you mentioned are well covered. amazon.co.uk amazon.co.uk Oh look I just found a new title to read. Got this one yet??... amazon.co.uk -lol- /edit. One USA reviwer says... (tut tut, not easily available in the USA, you guys ought to take your kids education more seriously pb.)... A good read, even for Americans!, 14 Sep 2006 By Anne Omniuss - See all my reviews I am American and we lived in the UK for 5 years. Right after we first moved there, we bought our son the book, The Groovy Greeks. It kept him entertained through a nearly three hour bus ride and he kept going back to it, so we knew we'd found a winner. My son has enjoyed all of Terry Deary's books and still reads them even though he's 13 now. I'd recommend The USA because a lot of American history that American kids are taught in school is a lot of "America is the greatest country in the world" propaganda. This is, needless to say, less biased in that area without being too anti-American. More importantly, it's an interesting and amusing book so kids will want to read it. I wish these books were easier to find in the states.
