The "Horrible Histories" series in unendingly entertaining. They might be slightly confusing for American children, as they use a bit of British slang, but they make history something that is interesting for all ages. This particular book about Scotland has actually provided a good deal of historical background for me for much of the historical fiction I have been reading lately.
