WORLD WAR 2 FOR KIDS
“Burrows makes history and learning fun! This book is well designed and packed full of history essentials and fun facts. There are timelines, maps, photographs and an area called Amazing Facts. Great read for kids and adults.”
“So much information, from the main people involved, through the causes and events of the war to the holocaust. It doesn’t shy away from the horror but the facts are all put into context. There are fascinating sections about spies, secret missions, gadgets and technology as well as what happened after the war, rationing and rebuilding, the United Nations and Cold War. I thought the images used were fantastic, some of them well know but lots of photographs I had never seen before.”

WORLD WAR 1 FOR KIDS
“This book is concise with well explained insights into how WWI played out. It’s easy to understand with interesting facts highlighted for extra learning. Would be great for any teen in an AP class or just covering the history to help it be more digestible and easier to remember than how this information is often presented in classrooms.“
“Even though this is a book for kids, I am an adult, and I liked reading this book and learning more about World War 1. I don’t like war, but I love History. This book explains everything well. Timeline, Causes, Countries involved, Tactics, Leaders, Major Events and Battles, Heroes and more. Great pictures also. I can’t wait to read more books from this author.“

WORLD WAR 1 FOR TEENS
“Ditch Google, grab this book for your child. My daughter needed to write an assignment for school and got confused with lots of conflicting Google searches. This book broke down WWI into categories such as countries involved, allied leaders, plus a logical order of main events. Easy to understand and factual. I would recommend.“
“Fantastic Book!! A really great way to write history and keep the reader engaged. I thoroughly enjoyed every part of this book and I know anyone who enjoys history will enjoy this as much as I did. I am not a teen and I thought it one of the best history books on WWI I have seen yet. I highly recommend this to anyone!”

It includes generational stories which are rare nowadays, and are all but forgotten in our current world. Great pictures to help tell the stories and to keep young minds engaged. Great meaningful read and a valuable contribution to any book shelf! Wonderful work!”
