You Are History: From the Alarm Clock to the Toilet, the Amazing History of the Things You Use Every

If you thought history was only in museums then think again! In this delightful book Historian Greg Jenner takes you on a journey through the amazing history hidden in the things you use every day.

Did you know that the first TV was made out of biscuit tins and knitting needles? Or that the humble paperclip helped lead an anti-war movement? Or that a few hundred years ago it was fashionable to style your hair with cat poo? Find out the delightful, daft, and downright deadly history of your everyday life. Full of humorous illustrations and entertaining true stories, this is history – but not as you know it!

We have plenty more kids books here at designist. Take a look!
