From Roman concrete to Egyptian mummies and 14-year-old warrior emperors – this week's book is full of fascinating facts from history.

The history of civilisation is the topic for this week's children's encyclopedia offer.

Tomorrow, you can collect a coupon in the paper and pick up the fourth book in our 24-part Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge series.

The hardback From Stone Age to Space Age will be available for £2.99.

After reading this book, your kids will be able to tell you which civilisation came up with the word zero, while also finding the time to invent the first chocolate.

They may then also grill you on why their home doesn't match up to that of the Sultan of Kilwa in Africa – who in 1430 built a palace of coral with over 100 rooms.

And if those facts don't manage to impress your little ones, perhaps they'll love to read about how many people had their heads chopped off in France in the late 1700s.

We showed the book to Bristol City midfielder Cole Skuse.

He said: "The book looks really good – it's full of facts.

"It is really important for children to get into reading, no matter what they want to do later in life.

"Even if you want to be a professional footballer, and you think it's all about your fitness, speed and skills on the pitch – you still need to be able to read and get through school.

"Because of the pictures and bitesize facts, I reckon these books make reading a bit more fun for kids."
