HISTORY FACTopia! by Paige Towler & Andy Smith ~ Blog Tour

FACTopia is back and it just keeps getting better and better! In this edition, readers have the chance to “Follow Ye Olde Trail of 400 Facts” through time as they explore global history. Ancient Rome, Samuri, the Islamic Golden Age, giant things and toilets only scratch the surface of what they’ll find inside!

The unique FACTopia style is so incredibly readable. Children are pulled in by the bright illustrations as they trace the line of facts page after page. One links to another with choices to turn to different pages to find out more. The slightly off-the-wall facts with funny illustrations make this the perfect book to read with a friend.

Did you know an Australian architect was inspired to build Sydney’s world-renowned opera house after peeling an orange?

Did you know Disney’s The Lion King was likely inspired by Sundiata Keita who founded the Mali Empire around 1240 after defeating his treacherous uncle?

HISTORY FACTopica is overflowing with fascinating facts young readers will devour! As the fifth book of eight, children who have read the others in the series will snatch it off the shelf. They know what to expect and they know it’s great! Global in scope, it features a broad spectrum of culture, civilisations, people and places – all verified by Encyclopaedia Britannica and checked by sensitivity readers. The FACTopia series is a must-have for school and class libraries.
