If you're looking to keep both the children aged 5+ as well as the 10-year-olds happy, here's a gem. This full-colour illustrated series mixes ancient history with time travel, bridging the gap between picture books and chapter books.
In each book, we get a sneak peek into Professor Brownstone’s vault, which is filled with magical objects from the ancient world. Readers will travel back to the age of the Vikings, Ancient Egypt, Greece and China, and to the Aztecs, where old gods and mythical dangers must be overcome...
Joe Todd-Stanton's full colour illustrations really set this book apart, but if time-travel and historical adventures are your jam, check out Hilda too!
