~~|title=50 Things You Should Know About The First World War~~

~~|author=Jim Eldridge~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Children's Non-Fiction~~

|summary=It's a non-fiction book certainly for the primary school audience, and as a result is fully pictorial and not terribly wordy. The '50 Things' idea is a hook to draw one in, and that leads to fifty more salient paragraphs being given us in bold print, mostly but not all given a double-page spread. But there are other boxed-out paragraphs, timelines, factoids written up the edge of the page, illuminating captions and more, so there is certainly a welter of detail. Said diversity of detail can be delivered at times in awkward fashion – even with three paragraphs at most per page it can still be a test to read them in the right order – but it does mean this book covers the gamut of the War, pretty much in chronological order, and more or less in perfectly-judged depth.
