5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent historical comic resource for kids,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Civil War, Vol. 1 (Chester Comix) (Paperback)
We purchased this volume and seven other Chester Comix for our seven-year-old son. He loves them, our 12-year-old loves them and so does my 40-year-old husband, who is a history buff. We love the fact that the comics are historically acurate, cleverly written and appropriate for all ages. The cool part is that the kids are learning about our nation's history one page at a time in an effortless way. They are sure to be read again and again and we already have the next bunch on a "wish list." We highly recommend them.

This review is from: Civil War, Vol. 1 (Chester Comix) (Paperback)
I gave this book to my son along with a box of civil war soldiers and he has loved it. He reads the book, then reenacts the battles with the toy soldiers. It has really sparked his interest in history. All the books in this series have been great and he has enjoyed them all.
