5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for an elementary school boy,
By
This review is from: World War 2 Tales (Chester Comix) (Paperback)
This book series is one of my son's favorites. He will reread all the books because the pictures and the stories have such great details that he constantly finds something interesting. He finds the topics fascinating and I like the books because many of the US history topics are not covered in the Virginia elementary schools at his grade level.

Purchased for classroom use. These have made an excellent and popular resource
for students whose comprehension and reading abilities are below grade level. Relevant historical information presented in a visual format.

This review is from: World War 2 Tales (Chester Comix) (Paperback)
Bought this comic book as an Easter basket stuffer for my 9 year old son. He is into history, especially anything to do with wars and military. I would not recommend it for a classroom though, as other poster stated. It is definitely more entertainment with a bit of learning. Don't get me wrong, it is fact based, but it doesn't tell every fact. There isn't enough room-it is a comic book style book.
