The Day Pearl Harbor Was Bombed: A Photo History of World War II [Turtleback]

George Sullivan (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-12-- A straightforward, no-nonsense introduction to the scope and sequence of U. S. involvement in World War II. Events are covered chronologically from the attack on military installations in Hawaii to the Japanese surrender. The black-and-white photographs vary in quality, size, and familiarity and are presented in a workable layout that balances the readable text with the accompanying visuals. A helpful listing of ``Memorable Dates, 1933-1946'' is included, along with a good two-part bibliography that lists further reading. There is nothing exceptional here, but the book does provide the bare-bones details and facts. It may serve as a good starting point for students wishing to learn more about the subject. --David A.

I really liked how this book was set up. I bought it for my students so they could be more informed of World War II and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. My students seem to really like this book and it's a popular one amongst my middle school students.

I would recommend this as a tool to use in the English or Social Studies classroom.

I was searching for a book to give me a short history of World War II. This book was excellent! I used it in teaching background information to my 4 - 6 grade gifted students. My mother (a member of the "greatest generation") loved the book and wanted one for herself. The book is excellent.
