Today you can pick up the fourth book in our Disney Wonderful World of Knowledge series, which aims to both entertain and educate youngsters.

Cut out the coupon in today's paper, pop along to your nearest participating retailer and for just £2.99, the history of the world can be yours with From Stone Age to Space Age.

Here's a little taster of the facts your children can pick up from the encyclopedia:

Baghdad once had more than 65,000 public baths. Babur, the first Mughal emperor, won his first battle when he was just 14. Fashionable Japanese women painted their faces white and their teeth black. Inuit people invented the first sunglasses.

We sent a copy to Nailsea School pupils Josh Shearer and Keri Stone, who both live in Wraxall.

Josh, 12, normally reads adventure and horror books. He said: "I'm not really interested in history normally, but it depends on the book in front of me. I thought the book was really good because it had lots of information in it and lots of colourful pictures which would appeal to younger children as well. It was really easy to read. It would be a good form of reference if I needed to find something out and it would be good to use for homework. I particularly enjoyed the bits about the Roman Empire."

Keri, 13, said: "History isn't my greatest subject, but it is interesting to look up things which have happened in the past. I really liked the stuff about the Stone Age."
