Match Wits with the Kids

Jonathan Green

UK Publication 19th June 2008
ISBN 978-184831000-1

 


'This jolly compendium will enlighten all who dip in... Green deserves 10/10.' The Independent

So, who was the first Tudor king? What is a preposition, or a conjunction for that matter? And how exactly does photosynthesis work?

If you've ever been told to carpe diem, but were unsure whether or not that was an insult, then don't feel alone - we all find it hard to hold on to our school knowledge these days.

Fortunately Jonathan Green, a highly experienced teacher and popular author, is on hand to remind you of all the important things you used to know. With detailed, witty lessons on English, maths, the sciences, history, geography, languages and Classics, Match Wits With The Kids will refresh your memory and answer the questions you were afraid to admit you needed to ask.

Packed full of fun, facts and tests for all the family, Match Wits With The Kids will equip you with a bulletproof general knowledge... just what you need to stay one step ahead of smart-alec children (or catch up with know-it-all grown-ups).

Jonathan Green has worked as a teacher for the last thirteen years, four of those as a deputy head teacher. In that time he has also written numerous popular books for children - everything from Sonic the Hedgehog to Doctor Who - and science fiction and fantasy novels for adults. He is also the author of What Is Myrrh Anyway?
