Interview with Cleopatra & Other Famous Rulers
If you could go back in time and talk to famous rulers from the past, what would you ask?
Brave animal interviewer and author Andy Seed has adapted his incredible 'tranimalator' device into a time machine, allowing him to go back and talk to all kinds of figures from history! Get to know 10 famous rulers who take time out of their busy schedules to answer all sorts of (very nosy) questions about their actions and unique perspectives. Discover the good, the bad, and the unexpected as each ruler reveals the truth about their lives - and attempts to find out about the future!
In this fun and fact-filled book, bite-sized text in a question-and-answer format is paired with engaging illustrations, perfect for reluctant readers and humour-seeking history fans. Featuring interviews with Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Boudicca, Hadrian, Harald Bluetooth, Genghis Khan, Montezuma II and more - plus bonus facts about key events in each ruler's life.
Perfect for fans of the Horrible Histories books, this series offers a fun, fresh take on history, featuring true stories from historical figures from across the world.
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to talk to animals, check out Andy Seed's Interview with a Tiger and Other Clawed Beasts Too and Interview with a Shark and Other Ocean Giants Too.
Review: 'Andy Seed has managed, with huge success, to bring history to life, just as Gareth Conway has animated the text with his lively cartoons and illustrations. It will be enjoyed by children of many ages, from Year 3 upwards, and would be a good resource for teachers to draw on in history lessons about, say, Ancient Egypt, Tudors, Aztecs, Celts and 'empire' the world over' * ReadingZone *
