Great Events: Remembrance Day looks at the history behind the anniversary of the armistice of 1918 that ended World War I. It also looks at how the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month has come to commemorate those killed in all wars in the following years. Gillian Clements tells the story through a lively combination of text and illustration (including some speech bubbles, labelled maps etc). In this way she makes history child friendly and accessible but still manages to incorporate, wherever possible, primary source material (such as eyewitness accounts and documentary evidence).
