Media Reviews
This excellent book tells that story [of poppy day] in words, photos and artwork...From the first Poppy Day, in 1921, to today's ceremony at the Cenotaph, the facts are presented simply and clearly. It's good to see a book on this subject for young children. -- Manchester Evening News, Nov 00
