Intended for the entire family to share

This will reach a wide age range, from advanced elementary-level readers to middle to high school students interested in a photographic representation of World War II experiences. This scrapbook is intended for the entire family to share, covering the people, places and events which took place during the war. A lively, revealing history.

World War II Comes Alive for Kids!

It's a story filled with heroes and the dastardliest of evil bad guys. Secret codes. Bitchin' airplanes. Machines that became todays' computers (aka the Enigma Machine), or mathematicians helped end the Great War. And it's ALL TRUE!!! Krull's book is sumptiously designed with actual photos and concise captions that bring all the drama of WW II back to life. Best of all, show this book to any elderly relative and hear them tell their own story of where they were when the War happened. The best present you can give to your family is this book.
