500 Facts!!! Can you imagine learning so much in one book? Take a look at WORLD WAR II HISTORY FOR KIDS and you will be amazed!
Yes, it is written for kids, but the amount of material in this book is unbelievable. There are 11 chapters beginning with Before the War (1914-1929) all the way to the Aftermath of WW II. Each chapter is filled with two page spreads that tackle topics with quick facts and colorful illustrations.
Readers will learn about what led up to the second world war as they read about Germany and the effects of WW I. Fighting in trenches was new in WW I, the Spanish Flu had a major impact around the world and like today folks were encouraged to wear masks to prevent spreading the disease, and a worldwide depression hit after the WW I soldiers returned home. I was surprised to learn that food shortages during this time were what inspired the creation of casserole dishes. Who knew?
The chapters that follow highlight the rise of Hilter and his beliefs, the Holocaust, and Japan's attack on America. Readers will learn facts about life on the homefront here in the U.S., as well as new weapons in the sky and on the land, and the secret life of spies.
Author Kelly Milner Halls spreads these facts over 150+ pages that can be read straight through or in small doses as time permits. WORLD WAR II HISTORY FOR KIDS is perfect as a supplement to classroom instruction or for readers looking to find out more about this monumental time in history.
