Every book in this series gets kids involved and interested in History…bravo!!!

Totally awesome book. Purchased for a WW2 obsessed 11 year old. Broken into easily digestible bullet points and into chapters like before, axis/allied, weapons, after, etc. I was worried they’d be these long boring paragraphs but a young reader would find the format of this book appealing. Would 100% recommend for any child who loves history. Illustrations are not plentiful so don’t purchase if you’re expecting tons of art and images. There are some but they are not the focal point of the book. I think I’d prefer hardcover instead of paperback.

This is a great book of fast facts of history for kids.

This book is great. It is engaging and informative. I bought it for my 8 year old and it was age appropriate.

I liked the presentation and amount of information in the book. Very well presented. My grandson loved it!

I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from Callisto Publisher’s Club. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.This book has a lot of interesting facts about World War II as well as the times before and after the war. While all of the information is interesting, the more important things to remember are listed under Term to Know, Stat Fact, Person to Know, and Group to Know. Each important item is listed in bold letters.I knew a lot about World War II, but I still learned quite a bit from this book. The funniest thing I learned is that there was an American Fat Salvage Committee that “asked people to save the fat left over from cooking rationed bacon. Fat was used to make glycerin, and glycerin was used to make bombs.” It’s an interesting and important fact, but the thought of saving fat tickled me.Even though this book is for children ages 8-12, anyone would learn a lot about World War II from this book.

500 FACTS: WORLD WAR II HISTORY FOR KIDS (Rockridge Press, 2021) by Kelly Milner Halls presents World War II in an accessible format for readers from ages 8-12. Halls effectively conveys the scope and depth of one of world history’s most complex events in bite-size chunks of one to three sentences. The narrative arc of World War II’s military and political history is delivered with plenty of side trips into human interest stories and the cultural effects of the war, including the Holocaust and Japanese-American internment camps. Illustrator Katy Dockrill’s color renderings of maps, people, and equipment to enhance the textual information on each page and make it even more easily digestible. Every class seems to have at least one student interested in World War II or military history. 500 FACTS: WORLD WAR II HISTORY FOR KIDS is perfect for those kids, but its aesthetically appealing format is also likely to draw in other readers.

My 9 year old sone read it from cover to cover and sparked an interest in history.
