50 Things You Should Know About the Second World War - Softcover

Críticas

This was a really interesting book and I learned lots of new facts about the second world war. I knew some things already as my great granddad fought in this war and my grandma had kept some of his uniform, badges and medals.

I learned more about the weapons they used and the main people who helped win the war including Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt.

Each fact has lots of bits of information and pictures to go with it, so it makes it easy to read. I took this book to school and it was very helpful. 

‘This is an ideal introduction to the war, providing enough information to stimulate further research.’ 

It's another winner from QED absolutely crammed to capacity with a ton of facts and figures for children to pore over, treated with a sensitive eye on the intended audience.

Packed with information, succinctly and attractively presented, this is an excellent way for children to learn about the key events of World War II. (...)Easy to read and remember, this is perfect for KS2 history.
