  • World War 2 for Kids: A Captivating Guide to the Second World War

  • How it all started because of just one man
  • Why soldiers spent most of their time sitting around in wet, muddy ditches
  • The new inventions that changed the face of war forever
  • How dogs, horses, pigeons, and even goldfish helped in the war
  • Soldiers—poets that didn’t know it
  • Why you could go to jail if you refused to fight
  • Boy Scout and Girl Guide spies?
  • The longest, biggest, and bloodiest battles
  • Only twelve years old and going to war!

  • How one fifteen-year-old girl’s diary won a Pulitzer Prize and has sold over 30 million copies.
  • Why some people had no choice but to fight, even if they didn’t want to.
  • Being a dictator wasn’t Adolf Hitler’s first choice of career. What do you think he first tried (and failed) to be?
