What it is and why it matters

This is a very interesting book telling all about Anzac Day,
the conditions for the soldiers at Gallipoli, New Zealanders participating in
the First World War and how Anzac Day is commemorated now. The best thing about this book is how
it is presented with lots of information, and illustrated with paintings and
photographs.
One of the pieces of information I found interesting was why
we use poppies to commemorate Anzac Day – read about it on page 28. The book would have been better for me
is there was more detailed information on why there was a war.
This book would be most enjoyed by readers who are 10 years
old and older who are interested in history and war.
