What Was D-Day? Paperback – Illustrated, April 21, 2015

My dad was on Omaha Beach on DDay so when I saw this book for kids I got 2. One for each grandson who are 8, and 11. The 8 yr old is a good reader. The 11 yr old will read if it’s interesting ahaha.

Gave to my 7 year old grandson to read before going to Normandy. He loved it. He surprised his family when they went to one of the museums and he recognized a picture he read about in the book. He quickly told everyone who the picture was.Highly recommend not only this book but any in the series. Great books to give new readers confidence as they begin to read chapter books.

We use the What/Who/Where Was series during our nonfiction research unit, and it’s been a fantastic resource! These books are perfect for students to begin with because they offer an easy-to-read introduction to various historical topics. They help students build background knowledge before moving on to more complex research materials. I highly recommend this series for any kids who are interested in history—it’s a great way to spark curiosity and make learning fun!

Great book for kids! I got these for my local children's library from their wish list. The kids are excited about reading them.

We gave this a 5 star rating because it was a really good book. It had a lot of detail but was very interesting and kept our attention through all ten chapters. My 8 year old daughter said she feels like she learned a lot about WWII.

My 10 year old loves history especially military history so this was a great book for education that was age appropriate!

The book was very good. The book talks about when we're first making the plans to invade the beaches. Then they made the fake military base which they had inflatable military vehicles. German planes flew by and they got fake radio messages of them making ideas to fight in one of the beaches. When the day came they had lots of soldiers going to battle they fought for hours and they lost about 9,000 men in the gun battle. Then when they took over them they went inland took many prisoner and saved many from camp. Then later the war ended

i learned a lot and so did my kids. They will not forget much of what was discussed in this book. Fascinating about how they approached and planned the first attack against the soviets in france. A storm, the difference between 30 seconds in time and 1000 cows. I always flesh out history books like these with critical thinking lessons and opposing viewpoints to give my kids a more full grasp on the entire situation.
