This fun, quirky, and engaging fully illustrated history anthology features twenty-five amazing and terrifying rulers for middle grade readers to discover.
We've heard of Alexander the Great. We've heard of Ivan the Terrible. But what was so Great about Alexander? What was so Terrible about Ivan? Spanning centuries of history in a culturally diverse framework-from ancient India to nineteenth-century Hawaii, and with a balanced focus on notorious women rulers as well as male, The Great and the Terrible takes a humorous look at some of the most glorious and notorious figures in history through the lens of the nicknames they're remembered by.

While some of the characters mentioned here are more prominent in world history (Cyrus the Great introduced the world's first human rights charter), others are well known only within their own cultures. The Great and the Terrible gives middle-grade readers an opportunity to dip into the breadth of world history, sampling its cultural diversity and its stranger-than-fiction historical exploits, with a mix of the sensational and the serious. It helps to correct the imbalance in many history books that currently only focus on Western Civilization, shining the spotlight on achievements (and foibles) in many different cultures.

Holds a lot and is a great buy.
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
Arrived quickly in a nice box and plastic wrap. Holds a lot, great for travel or every day. Got the black colored one, but they have lots of colors so can easily put gold in one, silver in another and mixed in yet another. Highly recommend!

Safe for sensitive ears
Color: Green, Color: Green
I purchased these earrings to wear on St. Patrick’s Day at work because they’re festive while still looking somewhat professional. I got so many compliments on them! I personally don’t think they look THAT similar to the Van Cleef version but multiple people did ask me if they were authentic. The best thing about these earrings is that they didn’t irritate my sensitive ears or feel heavy throughout the day. I plan on wearing them more often now!
