You Wouldn't Want To Be: A Victorian Schoolchild by John Malam

Growing up in Britain in the 1880s wasn't easy. For a young child in school the going is tough and the punishments are hard. Readers will follow the experiences of Victorian schoolchildren and will learn some top tips on survival at school. Suddenly modern-day school won't seem quite so bad, as readers discover that they really wouldn't want to be a Victorian schoolchild!
'You Wouldn't Want to Be a Victorian Schoolchild!' genuinely resonates with the atmosphere of a Victorian school dayThe teachers are suitably nasty, the pupils are suitably naughty, and the humorous attention to detail in the illustrations will make for an engaging look at Victorian school days. -- Junior Education 20020901
