From School Library Journal:
Grade 1–4—While the goal of familiarizing young students with memorials to our fallen soldiers is a worthy one, these books fall short. Each title gives a brief overview of the war in question and the history behind the resulting memorial. Simple text and abundant photographs may draw readers in, but the organization is choppy and captions often have little bearing on the photographs they are matched with. The information is factually correct; however, sloppy spelling and grammatical errors give an impression of a rushed job. USS Arizona Memorial, for example, misspells the name of architect Alfred Preis both in the text and in the index, and fails to reference divers Larry E. Murphy and Daniel Lenihan in the index, although three pages are devoted to the underwater preservation project. These volumes might suffice for basic report information, but books in Ted Schaefer's "Symbols of Freedom" series (Heinemann Library) are better choices.—Kim Dare, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA
