Brian ，

A good beginners guide to WWI。

Michael Krueger ，

straight and to the point all factual no fiction。

Tami ，

Really nice format to read in a non-threatening way - full of facts。Writing:Have students create their own comic strip about one detail from WWI。

Amber Gregg -Judging More Than Just the Cover ，

This is an illustrated and condensed summary of World War 1。 For a complete summary， you can go here。This book is perfect for children or history-illiterate people like me。 It was simple and easy to understand， plus the illustrations made it more interesting （I think all history is incredibly boring）。 Now this is written by a British author， so it’s definitely a different perspective on the war than what I am used to。 Obviously， in the United States schools， we learn primarily about what our rol This is an illustrated and condensed summary of World War 1。 For a complete summary， you can go here。This book is perfect for children or history-illiterate people like me。 It was simple and easy to understand， plus the illustrations made it more interesting （I think all history is incredibly boring）。 Now this is written by a British author， so it’s definitely a different perspective on the war than what I am used to。 Obviously， in the United States schools， we learn primarily about what our role was in the war。 Like I mentioned before， I am not great with history， so I can’t verify the accuracy of the facts in the book。 My only complaint is with the text。 It was hard to read some of it over the images。 To read the rest of my review， go here: http://judgingmorethanjustthecover。bl。。。 。。。more

Perfect for anyone！I was very impressed with this book information wise and visually。 The illustrations and easy to understand descriptions helped the book be truly simple。 I would especially recommend the book for middle school students， Great book！

Read the full review on my blog: http://newberyandbeyond。com/review-co。。。A short review for a short book: This book of WWI history is exactly what it claims to be。 It’s full of infographics， simple maps， child-appropriate explanations， and statistics about the first World War。I thought this book was adorable。 The illustrations were simple and clean， and they helped get the basic points across without becoming too cutesy or distracting。 My one complaint is that the book is so short that I didn’t Read the full review on my blog: http://newberyandbeyond。com/review-co。。。A short review for a short book: This book of WWI history is exactly what it claims to be。 It’s full of infographics， simple maps， child-appropriate explanations， and statistics about the first World War。I thought this book was adorable。 The illustrations were simple and clean， and they helped get the basic points across without becoming too cutesy or distracting。 My one complaint is that the book is so short that I didn’t get a good feel for what the daily events and consequences of the war were。 If the book had been about WWII or the Civil War instead， I probably wouldn’t have even noticed， but I know much less about World War I。 。。。more

This isn't a book I typically read， but it's Middle Grade and the pictures were so tempting I just couldn't resist。 As an American， my knowledge of the war- WWI- is limited to a chapter in a book in high school starting with when the USA entered the war。 I never really knew why the other countries were fighting or what was going on， I just knew why we entered the war。 But this short book gives a brief history of the complete war， starting with alliances and going all through to the trenches and This isn't a book I typically read， but it's Middle Grade and the pictures were so tempting I just couldn't resist。 As an American， my knowledge of the war- WWI- is limited to a chapter in a book in high school starting with when the USA entered the war。 I never really knew why the other countries were fighting or what was going on， I just knew why we entered the war。 But this short book gives a brief history of the complete war， starting with alliances and going all through to the trenches and rats the size of cats to the bloodiest battles and the disgruntled winners。 （If there really are winners in a war。） I learned a lot in this short book。 It wasn't like reading- more like bullet points with information and pictures to illustrate。I really recommend this to reluctant readers， to kids as an introduction to history， and to brush up on your history。 I enjoyed it so much I think I might check out some of the other ones。Find out more about Daniel Turner's other books at www。simplehistory。co。uk 。。。more
