Flags are important. At the time of writing this review Donald Trump is under criticism for not flying the White House flag at half-mast for long enough after the death of John McCain. This book is a treasure trove of information about flags. It is wide-ranging, including fascinating sections such as the origin of flags, and how to communicate in flags. I also enjoyed great moments in flag history, and the section on flags used by organizations. There is information about the flags of different countries. Text and illustration are perfectly matched. At the back of the book there is a flag quiz, and the reader is told how to design their own flag. Bright, attractive, interactive, and thought-provoking, the book is excellent value and is sure to be popular with KS2.
