As a boy, I learned most of history from reading about wars. They day, I started this book with my 7yo grandson.
Unfortunately, the black and white images are too small, too dark, and especially for maps, almost useless.
Grandson lost interest, although he did put in a bookmark. I think he needs to be a year or two older.
