Description

Vlad and the First World War: A Flea in History tells the remarkable true story of a carrier pigeon's crucial role during World War I. In 1918, Vlad joins Crisp VC, a brave pigeon who receives his name from a skipper who died saving him. Together, they embark on an adventure that takes them through dogfights with the Red Baron and over treacherous skies to deliver a secret message. Their journey is set against the backdrop of one of history's most pivotal moments, and Vlad's account offers a unique perspective on this period. The book includes a map, glossary, and fact file to provide context, making it an engaging read for primary school children while also celebrating the diversity of nationalities involved in the conflict. This fully illustrated picture book sheds light on often-overlooked heroes who broke boundaries during difficult times, inviting young readers to reflect on how we remember and commemorate those who have made a difference.
