The books are well-written, and the accompanying teacher resources are excellent. Their use has massively improved my student's writing and historical comprehension. It is the best KS3 textbook I have come across.” Rob Law, Head of History at Saint Martins' Catholic Academy “The Knowing History series has been a great help to the department. It has allowed for a much more consistent approach, ensuring a high quality of knowledge across all lessons. The textbooks are simply laid out, in a clutter-free approach which we have found refreshing. The breadth of knowledge is also excellent; for example, we now teach a number of medieval kings, rather than a whole enquiry on William the Conqueror. Although not the primary purpose of the books, we have also found it a great help for non-specialist teachers and for setting cover.” Jon Wayman, Head of History, Classics and Politics at Longsands Academy “KS3 students have enjoyed using Knowing History in lessons as it immerses them in knowledge-rich narratives and provides them with opportunities to read aloud. Students particularly enjoy the fact boxes. Trainees find Knowing History beneficial in supporting their own knowledge development while also providing a standardised approach for all staff across the department.” Tessa McLaughlin, Head of History at Bedford Academy

Zondervan The Magnificent Mischief of Tad Lincoln
Book SynopsisFrom New York Times bestselling author and news anchor Raymond Arroyo comes a fun picture book biography of Tad Lincoln, his relationship with his father President Abraham Lincoln, and a story about a parent’s love for his son and the wisdom of a child. Full of humor, this romp through history will teach children about the power of curiosity, imagination, friendship, empathy, determination…and even a little mischief!Tad Lincoln was forever getting into trouble. He bounced around the White House making mischief and annoying almost everyone but the president. Yet Tad was his father’s joy and comfort amidst a brutal war, a family tragedy, and the toll of holding the nation’s highest office. When Tad befriends a turkey meant to be holiday dinner, his plea for the pet to be spared teaches Abe a lesson about mercy. It also starts the tradition of the presidential turkey pardon, a tradition that presidents carry on to this day.<Trade ReviewA biography of Abraham Lincoln's son, Tad, that introduces the lesser-known historical figure to young readers. Action-filled vignettes from Tad's childhood, brought to expressive life through Davis's artwork, illustrate lessons of emotional complexity and eventually mature into more somber moments, like the death of Tad's brother, Willie, and the moral struggles of leadership Tad witnessed his father go through during the Civil War. The author gracefully uses these anecdotes to make Tad feel relatable to modern readers while grounding him in the necessary context of the boy's life. While the story is limited to Tad's childhood, there's plenty of material for meaty discussion. Plainspoken language will appeal to confident young readers, while evocative word choices, such as 'helpless, neighing laughter,' add a little literary flair. An explanatory note at the end describes how Arroyo was especially moved by Abraham Lincoln's sensitivity and mercy, especially in the granting of pardons, and how he believes Tad's influence was responsible. This is a heady topic well worth exploring and successfully sets up the story of Tad as an organic launching point for conversations about the humanity of political leadership and what qualities a leader should exemplify. VERDICT: A fun, well-paced, highly readable biography that provides a sophisticated entry point for more nuanced discussions about the complexities of leadership. Recommended. * Kate Stadt, School Library Journal *
