The Story of the Second World War For Children: 1939-1945

My son is 8 and enjoys books about History and war. I bought this when he requested to read a book together about WWII. As an American, I have always learned about predominantly the US involvement in the war and the history from our country’s perspective. This book focuses on the history of Great Britain in WWII. Good book and have enjoyed it bc I have learned new things. Will probably buy another book that concentrates more on the US involvement in WWII next.

good book

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!

This book is very interesting like the film D-Day...I recommend this book for 8~11 :D.

The book is very informative and also has lots of pictures and photos … the little grandson loves the book as he’s very intrigued by the history and developments information in the book 👍
