Win one of four copies of "Take Me Back" - Dorling Kindersley's latest kids book, delving into the past 200,000 years in a lively and fun chronology of human history. Ideal for 8-12 year olds.
"Take Me Back" - A rip-roaring ride into the past!
From DK, the publisher of the award-winning Pick Me Up, Put Me Down comes Take Me Back - a book that squeezes together 3,500 years of bloody battles, glorious empires, revolting revolutions, monstrous monarchs, and so much more.
The important bits are all there, as well as all the fun stuff, with a good shake and a couple of twists. Check out the flash crib of Persian emperor Darius I, select your barbarian warrior in a video game and read Napoleon’s profile on a social networking site. A cartoon strip retells the horrors of the Black Death, a news anchorman presents the headlines as the heads roll in the French Revolution, and graffiti on the Berlin Wall details the collapse of communism.
Using the same graphic styling of its predecessor, Take Me Back uses a brilliant, bang-up-to-date mix of edgy, innovative illustrations and unique design treatments, all of which appeal to today's generation. Lively, engaging text gives the past more punch, guaranteeing a smash with even the most reluctant reader.
For your chance to win one of the four copies of Take Me Back, courtesy of our friends at Dorling Kindersley answer the following simple question:
What is the name of the Persian Emperor with a flash crib?
a) Darius I
b) Jordan
c) Rugrat
