History is not just another subject in school. History is for those intrigued by the evolution of the human race. Think of history this way—all the iconic events and defining moments in time that have led us to today as a civilisation make history. Events that have been significant in human evolution are what make history. If it wasn’t for history, we wouldn’t know where we came from. It is through history books that we learn how our forefathers lived and how we got to where we did. Bet you are already interested, when you think of history like that.

Here are some of our favourite history books to read with your child. It is important that you stir a curiosity in their young minds about the stories of the past so they don’t dismiss history and reduce it to boring dates and names. To help you do just that, we at Books2Door have curated a very special history books collection that packs a punch of saucy tales from the various historic periods in time, across many civilisations. Here are some of the best history books that you must add to your child’s home library if you want to raise them up to love history.

DK Eyewitness Children’s Collection 8 Books Set for children aged 9-14 is a lesson in history that combines fun and learning. The books allow you and your kid to take a trip back in time to the eras of the Romans, the Tudors and the Ancient Egyptians in this must-have historical collection of books.

This is not history as your kid has learnt it in school. This history book set is an engaging insight into the world’s richest civilisations. Through these books your child will visit a Roman bath-house, explore the Persian empire, find their way through a Victorian maze and witness the fall of the Berlin Wall. The whole of human history is brought to life for children in this DK Eyewitness Children’s collection of 8 spectacular books on various historic civilisations.

Usborne Beginners History 10 Books Collection Box Set for children aged 9 and up is yet another way to get your child interested in world history. With this collection set your child can fit a world of information into their pockets and brains. Curious minds can explore different ancient civilisations, statistics, cool pictures, and incredible facts about ancient history. Did you know that over 50,000 people could fit into the Colosseum at one time? Or that Romans used public baths and used olive oil instead of soap? Kids can read up about all of this and all the information they ever needed to know about ancient Rome - Vikings, gladiators, baths, battles, and more!

Horrible Histories Blood Curdling 20 Books Collection By Terry Deary This collection would remain incomplete without the Horrible Histories book series that has essentially redefined how history is read and taught to children. Whilst the history taught in school is all about the kings, the kingdoms and the rich and the powerful. In Terry Deary’s Horrible Histories; history is all about overturning the hierarchy and his heroes are always the little people and not those in power. This makes the Horrible Histories books funny and yet your child will learn at the same time. The aim of the books is to educate but also entertain. The books are filled with silly jokes, trivia and humorous stories, which makes the facts much more memorable.
