Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Brilliant Battle Strategies | Children's Military & War History Books
Baby Professor · 2017
55/100
👎 Skip It
The instinct to teach strategic thinking through military history is sound, and the explicitly non-glorifying framing is reassuring, but Baby Professor titles are not reviewed by major children's literature journals and the format almost certainly keeps coverage of any single strategy shallow. For a child with a genuine passion for military history, a better-vetted option from a reviewed publisher would serve them more. Worth a look only if no alternative is available in this narrow subject.
