Description
Consider this flashy kids' encyclopedia an “at-a-glance" reference for everything World War II. Well-organized and utilizing excellent photographic illustrations, it covers most of the important people, places, and events in the war in a kid-friendly format. Inset captions and “fast facts" draw readers across the page and convey the highlights of each topic; for example, the page on the British “Spitfire" features a photograph of the plane with text highlighting aspects of the aircraft. Where relevant, simplified blueprints provide specifications for technology used in the war to help the reader compare and contrast. Each topic occupies exactly one page, limiting depth but allowing for a wider variety of material. A solid choice for general-interest World War II enthusiasts.
