  • For the bairns I think this is an amazing book. Marpurgo does a great job at separating the man from the war, no matter what borders the man was born within.
  • I didn’t enjoy this as much as other books I’ve read lately - I just wasn’t very excited to pick it up, but this is no doubt just because I’m not the intended demographic (though that often doesn’t bother me).
  • It’s clearly been very successful, rightfully, and I would recommend it for anyone with any little ones curious about wartime.
