This is an excellent book filled with 21 hands-on activities! World War II for Kids: A History with 21 Activities was used as our spine as we studied World War II. You know your child best therefore, please pre-read and use your best judgment when it comes to what you think they are ready for.* *I have added the recommended ages for each book.
My son also participated in several Outschool classes that he really enjoyed: World War II Film & Documentariesfor ages 10-15 and 52 Weeks of World War II History for ages 7-12. We paired these books with the Homeschool in the Woods Time Travelers: World War II study as well as documentaries and other resources. I also wanted to avoid any disturbing visuals that my sensitive guy was not ready for as well as focusing on the good and the heroes that stood against the horrible things happening at that time. I wanted to make sure we used a variety of resources and books to help give a well-rounded view of the war. So, it happened that he would dive a little into the war and then come up for air, so to speak. These deep dives and interest led studies are how we cover history. We didn’t gather them all at once, but each week we dove a little deeper and explored a little further. Others we discovered via the librarian or through our own searches up and down the aisles. Some books I put on hold because of great reviews.
50 of The Best World War II Books for Middle SchoolersĮach week this spring we went to the library.Īnd each week my son and I looked for more World War II books. Please read my disclosure statement for more information. Some books are loaded with facts while others convey messages of standing up against prejudice and bullying, tolerance of differences, and making sacrifices for family, friends, and neighbors all woven together with wonderful storytelling.
You’ll find both fiction and nonfiction in this list as well as chapter books, historical novels, and even a couple of picture books. Today I am sharing all the wonderful books we discovered as we dove into World War II. This is an important topic and I wanted my son to understand the war in an age-appropriate way without delving too deep into the details and the brutality until he was ready. I mean, we totally follow our children’s interests, and this is a big-time interest for my kiddo. So, when my 12-year-old son showed an interest in the war, I was worried. I remember learning about World War II in high school and the atrocities and complexities of it all were shocking.
