L’histoire pour les enfants


Recommended Posts

Looking for recommendations, if y’all would be so kind, for good introductory books on Scottish history for a seven year old. Good engaging ones. In particular, on the vikings in Scotland, as he is learning some aspect of the vikings at school so would like to put in a Scottish context for him. Also Wallace, as he was introduced briefly to his story at school too. But would be open to buying a whole series of them on other aspects too. Seems to be a lack of options online. Wallace, yeah, but would like to hear any recommendations of any you particularly like.

cheers! 🙂

At the start of lockdown I tried to pick up some books to help my wee lad. The History of Scotland For Children by Fiona MacDonald is a decent book. 
 

Covers most periods and nicely illustrated. No great depth to it obviously but it’s just about capturing their interest at that age.
