Description
No one takes pride in it, but it is funny to see others fail. Take an educational and entertaining tour through history, visiting some of humankinds silliest decisions and the lessons weve learned (or not) from them.
From the sinking of the HMS Titanic, to the many, MANY missteps of Christopher Columbus, to the wonky construction of the Tower of Pisa, readers will discover some of the epic fails that have changed our world or simply left us wondering what were they thinking?!
Everybody gets things wrong sometimes and this book demonstrates how we can often learn something from failureor as Thomas Edison put it: Ive not failed. Ive just found 10,000 ways that wont work.
Each tale is accompanied by wacky illustrations from Ella Kasperowicz, ideal for engaging reluctant readers.
This is the third title in Neon Squids Wacky Histories series, following A Stinky History of Toilets and A Sick History of Medicine, and is perfect for curious kids with a fondness for the darker side of history.
