This beautifully illustrated account of England's years during WWII focuses on "British Bulldog" Winston Churchill's rule as prime minister and on his devoted partnership with pet poodle Rufus. Quotations from Churchill accompany the spare but informative text, often from Rufus's point of view. Young readers will enjoy this painless history lesson with a fresh perspective. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
