4.0 out of 5 stars Suggested age-level not correct!, January 16, 2009

This review is from: The Battle of Guadalcanal: Land and Sea Warfare in the South Pacific (Graphic Battles of World War II) (Paperback)

The suggested age level for this book is 4-8: but please note that the suggested age level for all the other books in this series appears to be 9-12. I have read this book and consider it appropriate for 9-12 year olds. It is a graphic book: there are drawings of dying and dead soldiers, shooting, bombs blowing up, etc -- as there ought to be if you are teaching history to a 9-12 year old. It is not appropriate for my 4 year old or my 6-year old or their peers. We'll certainly try it again in 3rd or 4th grade, but for now we will leave it on the shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Graphics, Storyline for older kids, May 4, 2009

This review is from: The Battle of Guadalcanal: Land and Sea Warfare in the South Pacific (Graphic Battles of World War II) (Paperback)

I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book as did my 7 yr old son. The storyline and strategies of the battle I found to be above his comprehension level. I bought it for his advancement as a young reader as he loves war stories and the illustrations capture his interest completely. I agree the age level of the reading and understanding history is a bit higher maybe over 8yrs? Otherwise, outstanding history for kids.
