Great pics and a easy read

Bought this for my 10 year old Grandson as he is really interested in the second world war. Will give it to him at Christmas. I think he will find it very interesting.

Everything
by P. France
I bought this book for my Great Grandson aged 10 years as he is learning about this war at school. He loves learning about tanks and the excellent photographs of tanks has really been an asset to him. It has helped him to read much from viewing all the photos.

A wonderful book beautifully written and illustrated.

Excellent hard-bound book of high quality with the material very attractively presented in a clear manner. This will be a highlight on our book shelfs for years to come – we’re quite traditional. Our 9-year old daughter considers herself an expert on the topic even though she has only read the children’s biography’s of Anne Frank and Adolf Hitler. Though she visited the Imperial War Museum a couple of times. This will help to put things in more perspective. And I might use it for some guided reading sessions with her.
The book provides good overviews of the the main characters and main battles of the war. And it is all very well illustrated.
However I actually ordered this book for our 6-year old boy who developed an even more curious fascination with the Second World War. It might be genetic, which would be a bit scary. It started with these DK flip books about the First and Second World War that somehow triggered his interest. He is particularly drawn to to the topic that he keeps asking questions about, like “why did the Germans have the best tanks?”.
So even though he can only read parts himself we decided to order this book for his as a holiday gift, that he can browse through while travelling. THe gift was very well received. And indeed triggered interest from his or older sister.
