The book features handy hints that help to keep you alive at the battlefront, including tips on keeping your spirits up and avoiding capture. Informative captions, a comprehensive glossary and an index make this title an ideal and fun introduction to the conventions of non-fiction text. This is an ideal text for shared and guided reading for Key Stage 2.
