Brief history synopsis followed by illustrated stories from the Eastern Front. I’m interested in how different presentation of material can make history more interesting for young readers, and this approach seems very effective. As an adult reader, it was a good summary, and served mostly to whet my appetite for heartier historic reads.

The Eastern Front
This graphic novel brings history back to life. For those that may not love history as much will find they are still sitting on their edge of their seat trying to figure out what is happening.

I loved history as a kid, but sometimes it is hard to visualize what exactly happened during these wars. With some of the upper elementary kids I work with, I love using this book as a teaching experience. I have found out that boys tend to relate more to these series and I often find them picking up this book out of my collections of books. I also found my self relating because my brother just joined the Marines and often worry about him. I hope that he does not have to go through what some of these soldiers have gone through.

This makes me think of all the history books that we would read during school. I think as a kid I would have enjoyed this more then reading simply books that cover history. I think this is how kids will be able to connect to history by being able to visualize that connection.

I think there are a lot of lessons that can be taken away from this series. The first one being that history is an important part of our past and valuable lessons can be learned from history to help understand our presence. I also think that kids can learn a valuable lessons from what the soldiers go through on a daily basis. I think that kids can see how violence isn't always the answer.
