Goodbye, long boring lessons about World War II! In this book, kids will find valuable information about America's participation in World War II, presented in a format that is easy to understand. Better yet, kids can delve into projects that will bring the era to life as they create secret codes for passing messages, airplane models, ration cakes and learn how to prepare a care package for a soldier fighting our current war.

This book tells many of the interesting stories of the war - kids will learn about Navajo code talkers, the African Americans known as the Tuskegee airmen and women at home and in the danger zone. My kids will get much use from these pages!
