      5.0 out of 5 stars Great for numeracy and literacy practice!
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2020

      These are absolute perfect for Horrible Histories fans! You get the usually quality that you expect with Top Trumps cards and packaging. Perfect for keeping in the glove box of the car or at the dining table whilst waiting for dinner.

      Each card includes a cartoon historical figure and their stats, as well as facts about their part in history. We always find that Top Trumps are a great way to sneak some numeracy into the kids day but these have the added bonus of including a bit of literacy as they would read the facts to each other if their card won. A great addition to a Top Trumps collection.

      I received this product at Christmas, and was thrilled by the way it eggs on learning the past. It was also very fun, despite the odd inappropriate fact! Overall, there really is no complaints, as I also think Terry Dreary (the author of horrible histories)has done a fantastic job of letting children learn about the past, without racism, or false facts. A fun reading revolution.
