History

Have you ever wondered what life was like over seventy-five years ago during World War 2? Was everyone in the world fighting? And why?

In this audiobook, you’ll discover all about WWII, including who was involved and why it started, a timeline of events, what life was like at the time, the major battles, who some of the main heroes and villains were, and the lasting impact the war left behind. There are also interesting facts and a bonus interesting facts chapter to finish things off! There are even pronunciation tips and helpful explanations for those new, tricky words. To keep things fun and engaging, each chapter has an activity and answer section—from quizzes and word searches to creative drawing and writing challenges!

Here are just a few of the incredible things you’ll discover:

• Why were children in Britain sent to live hundreds of miles away with strangers? • Could you budget and enjoy your favorite foods on wartime rations? • Why the first atomic bomb was used and how it ended the war for good. • How one fifteen-year-old girl’s diary won a Pulitzer Prize and has sold over 30 million copies. • Why some people had no choice but to fight, even if they didn’t want to. • Being a dictator wasn’t Adolf Hitler’s first choice of career. What do you think he first tried (and failed) to be? • Why you couldn’t say “hamburger” in the United States during WWII. • Could you make a great escape from a prison camp? • Thirty years later—the soldiers who refused to believe the war was over! • Girl power! How women helped the war effort. • The brave individuals who stood up for what was right. • The bear that joined the army!
