So begins "War Boy: A Country Childhood," by Michael Foreman. This story caught my eye as a potential story to use to discuss the theme of growing up too fast. I only intended to peruse it for this purpose. I instead found myself reading the entire thing, which is not such a long task in the end. As a memoir, it is unique. The illustrations are a bit fanciful and borderline nonfiction, but they do help paint the picture of wartime England in the eyes of a child. The story is both innocent and hilarious at times, such as the line, "Some of my friends had big sisters, so they got to know the Yanks well." I thoroughly enjoyed this story and feel it could be a part of every classroom library to help teach World War II, if not be a resource to teach the war itself. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Features the author's tale of growing up on the Suffolk frontline during World War II. This work tells how he and his friends and family coped with bombing raids and deadly doodlebugs, how gas masks were great for making rude noises, and how nothing could beat rabbit pie.
