DK Adventures books combine story and visual elements to appeal to both avid readers and visual learners.

As they look through the box, Granddad tells stories about the Battle of Britain and life during World War II. Through this compelling story, your child will learn about the experiences of WWII Navy pilots, women's anti-aircraft gun crews, and how schoolchildren of the 1940s dealt with World War II.
