My story

It was December 7, 1941 on Saturday The book that I read was the Attack on Pearl Harbor and I would rate it a 10. The best part was when the Americans were going to Japan and attacking all the Japanese. The worst part was when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor because they didn't leave anything left all the battle ships were sunk, all the planes were gone, all the buildings were gone, and the hospital was gone. When they regrouped they built new planes bigger than the before.

This Book is #1!

Attack on Pearl Harbor: The True Story of The Day America Entered World War II By Shelly Tanaka & David CraigWould you like to have lived in the time of Pearl Harbor? Almost everything was on fire in the harbor. The first attack was at 7:55 am and 183 planes attacked. The second attack was at 10:00 am and 170 planes attacked. It was a horrifying experience for those who lived through it. I liked this book because it told me about history and the famous Pearl Harbor. The paintings are beautiful. The paintings help the reader to picture the story and to show how people felt. If you like history and sad stories this is the book for you. The author tries to tell you to always be ready. We are no longer enemies with the Japanese, but will America stop other attacks?

Being there

I know of Peter Nottage, and I was present in Hawaii when the attack took place. His recollections have brought back to me the drama of the times. Although I was not as old as he was, Mr. Nottage's descriptions match what I recall. Iunderstand he lived in Kanohe, and at that time I lived on the other side not far from Kaimuki, so we did not get the brunt of the attack as he did. A first rate work. I have grandchildren for whom I will purchase this fine book.

Pearl Harbor for Children

Shelley Tanaka presents Pearl Harbor in a somewhat different perspective. Pearl Harbor becomes more than Tora! Tora! Toar! and a picture of the sinking Arizona. The eye witness reports form all sides: Japan Military, US Military and civilians and kids. Good book!
