I enjoyed this book a lot -- especially since it has many photos in addition to written information. It is stated that this book is for those who are 8 - 12 years old, and it's true that this book is suitable for that age group. However, I'm 62 and learned a lot from this book. As the saying goes, "A photo is worth a thousand words!"
I purchased this book for my 11-year-old grandson, who is obsessed with all things Titanic. He loves the book as an addition to his Titanic library, and almost daily gives me another fact from it. It is packed full of photos, and lots of interesting information. While not a book aimed directly at children, it's certainly not over the head of any child who has an interest in the subject.
My 9 year old son is obsessed with all things Titanic. This is a great book, well written, and with great photos. It is a large book filled with photos and information we hadn't seen before. We are happy with this purchase.
DK Eyewitness Books: World War II is a short and comprehensive overview of the main events that occurred during WWII. There are a lot of photographs, interesting details, and it is laid out in an engaging manner. It says ages 8-12, however, my 5 year old has enjoyed the bits we've been covering with our Classical Conversations history. The photographs allow for even the youngest students to learn, understand, and appreciate the significance of the events covered in the book. I have learned several things as well, and really enjoy the fact that my 5 year old will sit down and look through a history book with no prompting from me. This is an awesome resource for anyone studying World War II.*We were given a copy of DK Eyewitness Books: World War II for review purposes.

My 7 yr old asked me about WW2 so i ordered this book for us to read together. It's fairly easy to read by herself and has a ton of pictures, photographs and information. It was great to read about something that actually happened but then talk about how that shaped the future (i.e. women working during war time). Overall it answered my daughter's questions and uncovered up a new love for history.
I purchased this for my 8 year old grandson who is so facinated by military history. He has not seen the book yet, but my husband, his grandpa said he would really enjoy the book and all the pictures.
Everything I hoped that it would be! Very detailed and perfect for the Titanic Enthusiast. It gives detailed information on a semi-child level, about a variety of different subject pertaining to the events that occurred before, during, and after the Titanic tragedy. Definitely recommend this book for your Titanic loving child (Or adult)
My 7 year old is obsessed with the Titanic. She absolutely loves this book. It has so many wonderful pictures and facts about the Titanic.
