"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 (Mark Bergin, Peter Cook, Meredith Costain, Michael Ford, Ian Graham, Jen Green, Peter Hicks, Colin Hynson, Andrew Langley, Fiona MacDonald, John Malam, Rupert Matthews, Jacqueline Morley, Jim Pipe, Thomas Ratliff, Kathryn Senior, David Stewart), and, with the exception of "You Wouldn't Want To Be A Crusader" which is illustrated by Mark Bergin, are illustrated by David Antram.
