Description

History homework getting you down? Too much to learn? Names? Dates? Important events? Hang in there! Help is on the way! Adroitly reducing reams of boring data about our nation’s past to a generous selection of over-the-top verses, Carol Diggory Shields presents our history with incisive hilarity. Here, for example, is her wry interpretation of the Louisiana Purchase: Tom Jefferson went shopping for a city one fine day Something in the South with a harbor or a bay, “Voila!” said the French, “The city of your dreams! For only 15 million, we will sell you New Orleans.” Nutritionally balanced, guaranteed pure, 100% refreshing, and cleverly distilled future BrainJuice topics will include biography, literature, and geography. - from Amzon
