(4) K-3 My Weird School Fast Facts series. Illustrated by Jim Paillot. Andrea and Arlo (A.J.) relate bite-size chunks of history from the exploration of North America through WWII. Although the book covers a decent swath of American history, the brief sections don't go beyond surface-level facts. Still, young readers will enjoy the quirky information (including a brief history of toilets) as the kids trade jokes and barbs along the way. Black-and-white cartoons and tiny photos are included.
