Take two of our favorite World War 2 historical fiction read-alouds:

A Place to Hang the Moon and Number the Stars

and add one of our favorite fantasy tales ever:

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

and you have our World War 2: Historical Fiction and Fantasy Poster Set! 

“But wait,” you say...”I know that A Place to Hang the Moon takes place in WW2-era Britain, and Number the Stars takes place in Nazi-occupied Denmark, but...what’s the connection to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?"

We’re so glad you asked! If you’ve ever read it before, you may remember that at the beginning of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the four Pevensie children are sent to live in the countryside in a huge old house owned by Professor Kirk. Why did the children go to live with a stranger? As part of Operation Pied Piper, which also provides the historical context for A Place to Hang the Moon. Perfect!
