Manufacturer: La Petite Boîte Dimensions: 21 x 15 cm The year 1916 was marked by terrible battles on the banks of the Meuse, in northeastern France. It was 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 was involved in this conflict? Who were 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 embellished with a rich iconography (photos, reconstructions, illustrations). Games (tests, quizzes, riddles...) extend the reading and invite children to test their newfound knowledge on the subject. A practical addition for parents, the "Follow the guide" section at the end of the book offers a comprehensive 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.
