Warriors: All The Truth, Tactics, and Triumphs of History's Greatest Fighters

An awesome book for anybody who likes Knights; Samurai; Ninja and other fighters from the past.
This book tells about some gear (like the tools Ninja used) that they had back then.
Overall, I think it was a pretty good book ****1/2* stars.

Amphibious Techniques

Amphibious Techniques (Modern Military Techniques)

This is a cool and informative.  Well-written.  Graphics could have been updated a bit, but overall a good book.  My favorite part was the illustrations.  I really liked the tactical section because of the strategies they used during the invasions. - Paco, 13

Drummer Hoff

Regardless of whether it's anti-war propaganda or not, this is one enjoyable book, especially for boys who love soldiers and cannons and all that.  I first learned about it from Jenn at 4Real.

The Twelve Days of Christmas by Laurel Long

What I liked about this book was the artwork, which shows you the things that are mentioned in the lyrics.
