The Great Fire of London: An Illustrated History of the Great Fire of 1666 Hardcover – Picture Book, 26 May 2016

After a failed library visit to try and find a book about the great fire of London for my 4+5yr olds I came home and settled on buying this. So very glad I did, it is an amazing book. Easy to read, and easy enough to simplify for young kids to understand. We have had some great learning sessions with this book. My teens have picked it up and read it too, it's a really appealing and informative book for all ages.

Bought as a Christmas present for my son as he had been learning about it at school and they used the same book. He requested this. It is a great informative book with lots of beautiful illustrations for kids.He loves it

Easy to read, daughter who is 6 loved the book and used it for a school show and tell.

My son really love this book.

The book is beautifully ilustrated and is perfect for children to learn about the Great Fire.It is a shame the Book Depository are hiking up the price. This was a purchase for my children school, however in light of the price it is being returned. The customer service from Book Depository was understanding in this matter but would not cover the cost of return (unfortunate but understandable).Recommendation - look for the same book from another source.

The book was purchased for my granddaughter who is working on a 1666 school project. Recently, e took her on a Great Fire walk - Pudding Lane, the monument, Pepys’ house, St Paul’s. The book arrived very quickly.It is a large format book, well-produced using good quality paper but I was disappointed by the limited text. Quite a few pages have no text on the illustration. There is so much more which could have been written. Some pages which have dark illustrations have black text making it very difficult to read. The font - something like Times Roman, looks like 14pt.Disappointing content given the momentous event being covered.

Book was very good for a child learning about the fire of London ,interested in history so as helped a lot

This book is absolutely gorgeous, I bought it to use at work when I teach Year 2 about the Great Fire of London but I love it so much that I’ve bought myself my own copy to keep at home. The illustrations are incredible and it tells the facts about the Great Fire in an engaging and interesting way. Highly recommend!
