This delightful picture book version of the popular Farmyard Tales story Camping Out has been especially written for young children who are just beginning to read. Young children will enjoy the gently amusing adventures of Poppy and Sam, their dog Rusty, Curly the pig and Woolly the sheep, as they go about their lives at Apple Tree Farm.

This book is a dual reader. That means there are 2 lines on each page. One on top for the child to read and one on bottom for parent or older sibling to read. (The top line is about a 1st grade level. The second line is a 2nd or 3rd grade level). The story line is all on the top line. The bottom lines add detail. It is a great confidence booster when the child is able to read your lines!

The two world wars of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 cast a malevolent shadow over the entire 20th century. This book takes you through the story of both conflicts - from the soldiers' terrifying experiences in the
trenches in the First War, to the huge battles and bombings of cities in the Second. Stunningly illustrated with dramatic contemporary photographs, paintings, posters and maps, this is an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to the two most devastating wars the
world has ever known.

** World Wars is an internet linked book. This means you can go on UBAM's quick link web page and get even more information on the subject in which you are reading. (These links are monitored at our home office to make sure they are appropriate for children to see and that it is an active link.) A couple of the links from World Wars include personal accounts of battles and missions and an actual radio broadcast from World War II. I highly recommend this book!
