Customer Reviews

Balances Brooklyn & WWI battlefield experience of brothers.

Beautifully illustrated read aloud could be used as an introduction to the WWI period. Historical setting is detailed in exquisite buildings and clothing. A tender family of four provides a gentle introduction to the heartbreak of wartime separation. This book could be used to spark conversation in any level classroom when this period is being studied.
