You're welcome! I went based on the dates that I found in the books. If there is a question mark, there was no particular date given in what I could see from the Amazon preview or the whole book if I got it from the library.

 

I see that the four that weren't yet out when I made the list are now out. On Amazon, the little blurbs give the dates as:

 

You Wouldn’t Want To Be A Ninja Warrior! says mid-16th century

You Wouldn’t Want To Be Cursed by King Tut!says 1922

You Wouldn’t Want To Be A Pony Express Rider! says 1860

You Wouldn’t Want To Work On The Hoover Dam! says 1920s

 

I'm not sure about the Hoover Dam one, since construction began in 1931.
