OK look first off let's just at that this book isn't aimed at me. I'm too old for its target demographic. However I do enjoy horrible histories and find this kind of book great for little nuggets of history and facts. The illustrations are fun and the writing overall acessable, interesting and fun. There were time that I felt it went a little awry maybe too much on smelly socks etc but again I appreciate its not aimed at me. Where I do take issue is perpetuating some idea that teachers are horrible. Sure you can get away with individual characters like that in comics like the beano but in a book about learning I think that this kind of sweeping statement is an ill-educated misstep. So I'm knocking a star off for this 🌟 Sorry 😔 good overall though so I do recommend it 👍

This book is a mixture of the two books Measly Medicine and Savage Surgery illustrated by Tony De Saulles and written by Nick Arnold. This a very good mash-up and it is very funny. Well, science will never be more interesting!
