British Museum: So You Think You’ve Got It Bad? A Kid’s Life in Prehistoric Times

Part of Nosy Crow’s list of publishing in collaboration with the British Museum, developed in consultation with some of the world’s leading experts on the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age.

A kid’s life in prehistoric times might sound like fun, what with all those woolly mammoths and massive stone circles, but actually life for kids could be pretty hard. In this hilarious book, written by award-winning author Chae Strathie, children will learn just how tough life really was, from living in a cave and hunting wild boar to being forced down mines to collect flint… and even eating butter kept in a bog!

Probably the first book about Prehistoric Times to feature roller skates and doughnuts, this is a must read for kids with a passion for horrible history! Brought to life with rich, humorous illustrations by super-talented Marisa Morea.

Other titles in the series include: Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Aztec Age.
