This is a powerful and moving book which left me in tears as I turned the last page. It brought to life the tremendous sacrifices of our troops in opposing the aggression of the German Nazis and Japan in World War II.

I know this book was written for children, but I read it because I felt compelled to learn more about the Normandy invasion when I saw this book before its release in my Little Free Library. I was fascinated, mesmerized, and terrified by the story and pictures.

It did what i wanted it to do. It significantly added to my knowledge of the Normandy invasion, how it was conceived, how it was executed, and how it affected the world.

I recommend this book highly for all ages, and I'm in my seventies! ( )

D-Day landings is a leveled reader in the DK readers series and has their highest level of 4. This is a good book that focuses on how the D-Day landing was planned and executed. This is an important part of the war since it was a major battle. Kids will enjoy this text for the compelling way the text is written. ( )
