DD (3.11) is FASCINATED with WW 2. On holiday, stuck in a traffic jam, I basically told her the story of my family, inc my granddad, who fought at Dunkirk and DDay. I also talked about how my mum has vague memories of bombing from when she was a child. I have since got 'The Lion and the Unicorn' out of the library which is quite a long story about a evacuee, but with beautiful pictures (by the sainted Shirley Hughes, who both DD and I love.)
DD is just about at the stage of enjoying some 'big books' with chapters. We are working our way through the first Harry Potter and she enjoys it. I just wondered if anyone knew of any books aimed at younger children that covered this period. I have fond memories of some great books from childhood, but I think they all for older children - When Hitler Killed Pink Rabbit, Goodnight Mr Tom, The Machine Gunners, The Silver Sword etc
Any suggestions appreciated!
