Who? What? When? World War I - Tapa blanda

Críticas

The series covers eras closely linked to the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority's key stage 2 units. They approach history through the humorous, gruesome facts that KS2 pupils love to know. The cartoons and informal style make them suitable for independent reading - an unsuspecting way of learning about the past. (TES Teacher)

We loved this series. Really good, easy-to-use, exciting reference books, but the size and appearance of a novel. Topics and themes are covered in alphabetical order and there's a simple cross-referencing system which is really easy to use. A good, fascinating selection of information and facts that can be dipped into; helpful and clear 'how to read this book' explanation at the front, and glossary of terms and index at the back. Great, eye-catching covers. (The Guide to Literacy Resources 2003)

a very accessible reference book. (Primary Times)

Reseña del editor

Written in the clear and lively tone of popular author Bob Fowke, this is ideal for children who want an 'at-a-glance' reference book to the key topic areas of World War I.

As the title implies, the book provides information on the key people and events of the war, placing them in chronological context. There are approximately 100 entries laid out alphabetically, including the following people and topics: artillery, British Legion, Rupert Brooke, Edith Cavell, Winston Churchill, field hospitals, General Kitchener, Lawrence of Arabia, Battle of Mons, Wilfrid Owen, rationing, suffragettes, Battle of the Somme and tanks.

Complete with timeline, glossary, further information, index, cartoons, detailed illustrations and maps.
