I don’t know about you but my kids are fascinated with all things poop. “The Little Girl Who Pooped in Her Swimsuit” may look like a fun story about poop and a feisty little girl named, “Miranda.” However, that’s just wrapping. It’s really a story about the proverbial light bulb that goes off in a child’s brain when they realize their parents were right (a rare but highly treasured moment). It’s about making mistakes, learning, and overcoming. Oh, and there’s the swimming lessons thing. My little girl asked us for an entire year if she ever had to go back to the dreaded swimming lessons. If this helps anyone in a similar situation, it was all worth it.

Armies of the Past looks at how soldiers, sailors and airmen lived and fought in significant historical time periods, from Ancient Egypt to World War II. Packed with information, the series focuses on the social history of warfare, including recruiting, drilling, camp life and caring for the wounded as well as armour, weapons, forts and fortifications and battle tactics. Through realistic artwork and lively fact-filled text, each title in Armies of the Past is a fascinating demonstration of how people were moulded into efficient fighting forces and how they lived and worked together.
