Everything: World War II: Facts and photos from the front line to the home front! (National Geographic Kids)

This was a great starter resource for a young student.

Appropriate for young WWII fans

I've bought this as a Christmas present for my 8 year old who is really into everything to do with the armed forces and past wars.I've had a look through and I'm extremely impressed with the content. It's very informative, with brillaint illustrations and photographs, and the quality of paper that it's printed on is second to none. I knew it would be a very good read with it being NatGeo, but it's even better than expected.

Value for money. My grandchild loved it.

Primarily aimed at children in the 7-11 year old range, this is a very good overview of WW2. As an adult I have to admit that I read it, and actually gleaned knowledge that was previously unknown to me. I know some may question why kids of today need to learn about such a traumatic period in our recent past, but I think that studying such an important area of our history enables us to develop a much better understanding of the world in which we presently live. Building a good degree of knowledge and understanding of key events, especially those that occurred in the past one hundred years, enables us to develop a much greater appreciation for current events today.As you would expect, this publication has all the hallmarks of National Geographic: clear photos, detailed diagrams, chock full of interesting facts and figures given in a way that is easy for the reader to digest, and all printed on high quality, glossy paper. The book contains 64 pages, and measures precisely 276mm x 232mm (so slightly shorter and wider than A4).I believe this is a worthwhile book to buy any child who fits into the appropriate age bracket, though a degree of caution might be needed in regard to kids at the lower end of the age scale due to photos some may find distressing. Given the quality of this publication, it’s educational value, and it’s reasonable price, I have no hesitation in recommending this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖 + 📚 = 😊

First of all, this book has high quality with the material , seems pretty tough. It aims to children 8+, my daughter is 9, she hasn’t read it yet, but I have, because I am really interested in history. I was really impressed with the pictures and contents that this book provides. It’s quite informative with lots of precious photos which were taken during that period of time, plus illustrations underneath, which give more details and explain really well, they make reading really easy to follow and the graphics make it easy to retain and absorb the information.This book is probably the best photographic depiction of WW2. Excellent quality and a good size. Would highly recommend. Hopefully our children will never have to experience what our grand parents had to…..

I think it's easy to dismiss books as a fact finding resource now we have the internet at our fingertips but I think, if done with quality and creativity, there is something about reading a book that really helps facts sink in and come to life. This book from National Geographic is such a book.I'll admit I am a fan of Nat Geo Kids books. If you haven't tried them before with your children (or you are in the target age range yourself) then I recommend the whole series. They are always really high quality books, and the content is bright, engaging and most importantly well researched and thoughtfully presented.This book on WW2 carries on the fine Nat Geo Kids tradition. Lots of well written facts and stories, accompanied by rich visuals that bring things to life. This particular book gives lots of details on the war at home in the UK and it lays out the facts really well - how the British Isles was under attack, how people lived under that threat, how things turned around and how the war ended. It also covers some difficult but hugely important topics like The Holocaust with sensitivity.My 9 year old nephew really enjoyed reading it and came away with questions and a real interest in finding out more. And if that isn't the best thing a book like this can deliver then I don't know what is!
