Summary

Explore the concept of war in a distinctively accessible way with these poems for younger readers. Fascinating and moving in equal measure, there are poems about incredibly brave dogs, cats, and pigeons; the Christmas truce of WWI, when soldiers played soccer in No Man's Land; poems about rationing and what it was like to be an evacuee; poems about modern warfare and the reality of war today; plus lots of amazing true historical facts.This cross-curricular poetry book is a brilliant way to get young readers thinking about both the historical and philosophical aspects of war.
