Nayuleska's thoughts
I
find wars confusing, as there are so many details to take in. Perhaps that's
why I don't recall that much
about
the First World War, which happened 100 years ago this year. As a fangirl of
Usborne's sticker
books
I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to learn a bit of history.
I
still think war is complex and not needed, but I did learn the diversity of
people involved in the war.
There
were loads! All the uniforms are different, despite mostly being muted colours.
I loved the deep
blue
and style of the French soldiers. The Scottish kilt wearing soldier made me
smile. I hadn't realised
that
pigeons were used for messages - I'd have liked to have been in charge of them.
I'm no good on a
boat
but I liked the navy uniform. I had no idea Arabic countries were involved in
this war. There is
nothing
wrong with this sticker book, it just isn't as appealing for me as the others,
hence the lower grade.
