<p>…the latest in a super youth history series. Live Like A Tudor #ClaireSaunders @miaunderwood.illustration @gmcpublications gives you a social history perspective on this most covered of eras. Much more my vibe than the often focussed on beheadings (maybe one day we’ll see Henry VIII as the domestic abuser he was, rather than a laudable type). Along with titles on the Egyptians, Romans, Vikings and Hunter Gatherers, these are great for home shelves to supplement learning as well as in school to inspire creative approaches for getting closer to the past.</p>
@kidsbookstolife
<p>An engaging book that helps bring the era to life; it’s worth adding to to KS2 class collections, and to home bookshelves if you have a child interested in the past.</p>

<p>We’re already big fans of this fantastic non-fiction series, and Live Like a Tudor is a brilliant new addition we couldn’t wait to get our hands on! Aimed perfectly at Key Stage 2, these books are ideal for use in the classroom and packed full of fascinating facts, fun activities, and engaging illustrations. As someone who absolutely loves learning about the Tudors, I was thrilled to see this edition released— From Tudor fashion and food to games, jobs, and crime & punishment (my class always love the gruesome bits!), this book brings history to life in such a vivid and accessible way. We’ve used other books in this series in school and they’ve always been a hit—Live Like a Tudor is sure to be just as popular. I can’t wait to share it with my class!</p>

This book reveals what it was like to live in the turbulent Tudor times, when England’s kings and queens held absolute power over their subjects, and stepping out of line meant a whipping or worse. From Henry VII to Elizabeth I, the Tudor monarchs were colourful, powerful people who presided over an era of naval expansion, exploration and trade.
Children will learn about ordinary people’s day-to-day lives, from what they wore and ate to how they spent their free time and what kind of jobs they did. They will get to know a young, fictional Elizabethan girl, as she tells them about her life, from helping her mother with the laundry to visiting the Globe theatre and having a visit from a doctor.
Dotted throughout the book are craft activities and recipes to have ago at, such as making Tudor marchpane (marzipan), learning how to play Tudor games and how to dance like a Tudor.
Live Like a Tudor is a fascinating journey back in time to find out what it was really like to live in Elizabethan England.
