Daughter enjoyed it.

Well illustrated. Each double page deals with one aspect of the war. Not too much text. 9 yr old grandson was pleased with it.

A real informative and easy to read book. Purchased as a gift for a 10 year old who has been learning about WWII in history lessons, is great for additional learning.

my grandson loves it I’m glad I purchased it

This book series is fab, my 7 year old loves them. We have this one, and one on WWI and the Titanic. They’re beautifully illustrated and presented with little boxes of information, enabling you to dip in and out of them without being overwhelmed by too much text. I would say these books would be good for anyone in KS2, although younger children will also enjoy them with a bit of adult help – my 5 year old little girl certainly does!

Bought this for my 7 year old grandson he loves you reading the stories to him, as he gets older he will read it himself. When discussing remembrance at school, his teacher was impressed at his knowledge. Very interesting for an adult to read very educating.
