Manufacturer: La Petite Boîte Dimensions: 21 x 15 cm The year 1916 is marked by terrible battles on the banks of the Meuse, in northeastern France. It is the Battle of Verdun. Since then, Verdun has become a symbol of the horrors of war and a well-known place of remembrance worldwide. Who is opposing in this conflict? Who are the "Poilus"? How did they live in the trenches? Young readers (and their parents) will find the answers to these questions in this book. In this mini-book, young readers (and their parents) will follow the episodes of the battle day by day. The documentary part, scientifically impeccable, is accompanied by a rich iconography (photos, reconstructions, illustrations). Games (tests, quizzes, puzzles...) extend the reading and invite children to test their new knowledge on the subject. A practical supplement for parents, the "Follow the guide" section at the end of the book offers a complete guide to places to visit in Lorraine (battlefield sites, museums...) directly related to the subject. 28 pages Net weight: 75 g; Packaged weight: 115 g.
