Surprisingly intelligent for a kid's book. I liked it, even if my niece made me read it! ;0) I do like UFOs, so not complaining that loudly.

This oversize, fold- out, informational book is a visual comparison of the history of transportation presented in a timeline format that can be read back to front, top to bottom, and right to left.

Secret History World War I by Chris Oxlade is a book detailing a lot of the events that were leading up to the war, the War itself, as well as the end. It has photos of locations, important people, as well as how it affected the different citizens. This book could be a great tool for the students to make the connection visually.
