| 2. |  | Remember World War II: Kids Who Survived Tell Their Stories
from National Geographic Children's Books
Price: $12.21
Customer Review:
I am especially fond of this book because my mother-in-law tells her story as a 6 year old child living in Pearl Harbor and recounts her memories of the bombing. The inclusion of these "personal" accounts of war makes you consider things that you may not have considered before... like a mother... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Viking Juvenile
Price: $12.23
Customer Review:
I bought this book to read with my daughter before we went on vacation to China and actually saw the Terra Cotta Warriors. I doesn't come close to showing how phenomenal they really are but the history is wonderful and now it's a great reminder of a wonderful trip. | 5.0 / 5.0

from Children's Press (CT)
Price: $20.50
Customer Review:
This book isn't exactly what I was looking for, but it's a great childrens book! Lots of pictures, in fact, I think there are probably more pictures than actual sentences. If you're looking for serious information on Australia, just stick to Frommers. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Eerdmans Books for Young Readers
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
This is one of the few history books that are as easy to read as fiction. You won't have to force yourself to read it - though you may have trouble putting it down! In spite of this, it is not fictionalized.
There are also many lovely photographs and illustrations of the princess and her... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Picture Window Books
Price: $7.95
Customer Review:
I purchased this book to use as we study the continents. (We are homeschooling). It gives tidbits of information about New Zealand, just enough for a surface glance at this country. Which is OK for our purposes, but would not be useful if you really wanted to study this country in depth. Also the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Four Winds
Customer Review:
I thought I'd buy this to help teach history in school to my middle school ESOL students, I also am a fan of Diane Stanley, the illustrator. I didn't count on how absorbing the story would be and that I would be drawn into a world I barely knew existed. I had never heard of Princess Kaiulani before.... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
