A Terrível Primeira Guerra (Mundial)

The book makes history engaging and funny, but I wonder how he navigated keeping respect for the topic while making it accessible for kids.

Deary's style is known for humor but tackling the First World War is a bold choice. I'm curious about what motivated this approach and how it was received by young readers.

The humor definitely made the facts stick for me, but I wonder if it risks minimizing the real suffering involved. How do others feel about this balance?
