who was winston churchillI liked Who Was Winston Churchill? for two reasons. First it is just over 100 pages, and I had a reading assignment at school that called for a book with a minimum of 100 pages. Secondly, the book is about Winston Churchill. I really admire him and think he is super interesting.

When I flipped through the book at the store I noticed it had lots of nice pictures! That was cool, and it meant less reading too! I read it in one day and liked it. I learned new things about Churchill, and the drawings inside gave me a different perspective than just reading words.

I read the book a second time when the editor of Finest Hour asked me to review it for The Churchill Centre. I still like the book. I think it would be a good first book for kids to read if they were curious about Winston Churchill. Other books I have read about Churchill might scare them off!
