I borrowed this book from the library hoping to educate my children. But, unfortunatelly, this book is very poorely written, the author omitted many interesting facts about the mentioned kings, the book is really boring to read even for an adult ( mind you, I like history books), let alone a young child. But the illustrator is even worse than the author, the pictures not only extremely crude, but the kings don't look like themselves in the least. Ok, it is hard to guess how Attila looked like, but there are plenty images of Louis XIV, Charlemagne and Peter The Great. Peter the Great even has a wax figure, not only numerous portraits and sculptures. In our age of internet it is just ridiculous. We did not finish the book, it is not worth reading.
