100 Events That Made History is a fun and vibrant accounting of the most important historical events all over the world. I really appreciated the simple structure of the book where four overriding themes (Social Firsts, Battles and Brawls, All Change and Amazing Achievements) made it easily accessible and highly readable. 100 Events That Made History is shaped by pertinent questions asked about each event (one or two pages) the most important being "how it changed the world." This gives show more clarity to each event and how it formed modern history. The lively and beautiful pictures in the book will enable even the youngest readers to connect to the material in a fresh and entertaining way.
