Great WW2 resource
Excellent WW2 book for my almost 11 yr old who is interested in history. It’s brought on lots of questions and good discussions. I’m a Children’s Librarian and this is one of my top non-fiction books!

Great layout!
This is perfect for my 10 year old history buff. My only complaint is that there is no page for General Patton.
