Great kids book. A little too much visual stimulation for my ADD, nevertheless a great for older kids. This is just one of a nearly never-ending series of 'You wouldn't wanna be....'

I wonder if coal miners in the US faced similar hardships. Even today, coal mining is difficult, dangerous, and dirty work.

[The Brothers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great facts paired with great illustrations make this book a fun way to learn about mining in England long ago. And the title is correct - you wouldn't want to be a miner back then!

LIKE IT

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the less successful books in the series. A bit inconsistent - the miners are forced back to work after a strike by lack of money but at the same time they've won a pay rise!

[Simon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as most of the series
