History for a Ten Year Old

This book is terrific entertainment for a ten year old. My son loves comic books so I thought this would be a great idea to get a glimpse of history and have it read like a comic book. It was a hit. He has read the book numerous times and now knows about the Battle of Antietam without yet covering the Civil War in school. And as a bonus he has used the pictures to learn to draw realistic cartoons. AND it has a great poster in the back to hang in his room.

For My Nephew

So far I am very happy with the graphic history book. My nephew loves them and he especially loves the posters in the back of the book. Thank you very much.
