My 9 year old loves this book! We checked it out from our local library and he decided it was one he wanted to own. It's a great visual representation of historical events in a manner that a young person can read, understand, and enjoy. I would recommend.
My 7-year-old grandson became interested in World War 2 after having seen the movie about Jesse Owens. He began asking lots of questions, so I bought him this book. Great organization, photos, and explanations about various personalities and events. He's now become interested in maybe being a History teacher when he grows up.
i bought this at my scholastic book fair its awesome
I ordered this for my little brother, who is fascinated with the WW2 Era in history. Thanks to prime shipping it came in two days, and he couldn't contain his excitement! The pictures and details in the book go above and the beyond the other DK books I've read as a kid. I would buy this for any little historian in the family, or for anyone liking history in general! If you found this helpful, please rate it as such!
We have an 11 year old boy who loves this book. Very informative with great pictures.
WORLD WAR II VISUAL ENCYCLOPEDIA is an informative and well-illustrated overview of the most momentous event of the 20th Century. A 2015 Dorling KIndersley release, it serves as a useful guide for younger readers.The book is divided into broad categories: Key Players, Military Personnel, Key Events & Battles, Technology of War, and Reference Section.

Each item rates a one-page write-up with a color or b&w photograph or illustration.As a primer on the Second World War, WORLD WAR II VISUAL ENCYCLOPEDIA is a good choice to introduce and explain the subject to readers nine to 12 years old. Recommended.
My 11 year old loves history and saw this book at a school book fair. I got it for half the price on and he loves it.
