Children's WWII story

Children will enjoy this story set in Nazi-occupied Holland. Bert learns lessons about obedience, friendship and truth after he rescues an American pilot who had been shot down. Every time he directly or indirectly disobeys his parents, he learned that he'd made the wrong decision. This is one children's story where the parents are not pitted against the children. Instead the parents are on the children's side. There is plenty of adventure and character-building incidents in the short story. It would make a great book to read aloud to the family.

It Began with a Parachute

Excellent book! Fortunately, I stumbled onto this book and what a treasure it was. My boys could hardly wait for the next night of reading. The language is simple enough to keep the younger child's attention yet exciting enough to keep a middle school student's intrest. It always left them wanting more. Great read a-lound to your children.
