But kids like the gross, the agonizing, the unbelievable "who thought that was a good idea?" craziness of other times and cultures. Not death, characters are dead all the time, but the miserable, painful, agonizing bit of dying is usually glossed over.
One of the things usually left out of children's books is dying. YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous 2011 October 4 LJ Ganser narrated this book and it was a pretty fun listen. So, if you are curious about the lives and deaths (mostly deaths) of the very famous - look no further! From King Tut to Pocahontas to Mozart to Antoinette, this book has it all! I was surprised by how interesting death was - especially back in the day where it seems like a stray needle could induce sepsis (I swear, I am 5x more grateful for modern medicine than ever before).
The authors were really right - you hear all about these famous folks over your lifetime but you don't really know how they ended. Overall, this was a surprisingly enjoyable book! You probably don't know how George Washington, Cleopatra or Beethoven ate it because every other book you've read skipped over that part.If you are curious about the very famous and the very dead - this book is for you! Looking back from where we sit now, people a long time ago sure did some dumb stuff - and it's definitely the kind of stuff worth writing about.There's also been a lot of famous people in this world but for some reason, the end of their lives remain a mystery.
Seriously, there were A LOT of deaths thanks to disease, idiocy and lack of general hygiene. People have lived and they have died.Īnd before the modern era, they died a lot easier. Remember when you watched Bambi for the first time and you got to the part where Bambi's mother died.And in that second you realized that if Bambi's mom can die, so can everybody else.
