review:
'D-Day: Untold stories of the Normandy Landings inspired by 20 real-life people' with words by Michael Noble and pictures by Alexander Mostov is a picture book about real events leading up to D-Day.

Starting with the people who planned, invaded, defended, and reported, the story of D-Day is told. Every aspect leading up and through the invasion is accompanied by a two page illustration, a picture representing someone in that phase, and text and additional information about what happened to the person after the war. Both sides of the war are represented, although more from the Allies than the Axis. There are men and women from quite a few different countries.

I really liked how well this was laid out. The illustrations are fantastic. The way the story is written is in the present tense, so it makes the story feel more alive. This was a pretty good read for younger readers who might like history.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing - Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
