5.0 out of 5 stars It is my 6 year old's favorite book now, November 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My son just started 1st grade and this is now his favorite book. It is slightly challenging for him as he is at a "2nd grade" reading level, but he loves falling asleep reading it quietly to himself at night. I would say it's probably ideal for 3rd grade through 5th grade students.

With a little help during his first read, he was able to get through all the words. The stories -- from a comprehension point of view -- is a bit too challenging as it tells the history of D-day from an adult point of view such as providing all the detail around the deception. Most adults wouldn't know most of the information in this book unless you are a history channel fan. I like that it stretches him, it starts teaching him history, and he loves the material.
