You Wouldn't Want To Be is an on-going series of illustrated children's non-fiction books published in the United Kingdom by Hodder & Stoughton and in the USA by Scholastic. They are created by the Salariya Book Company, who publish some of the titles as part of their own 'Danger Zone' brand. Numerous non-English language versions are also available.
The series is intended to interest young children in history, by combining a factual eyewitness narrative with cartoon-style illustrations. It has become widely used in UK primary schools, as many of the titles are appropriate to the teaching of KS2 history. The books are written by different authors, and are all illustrated by David Antram.
