This month we are reading Secrets of American History: Secret Agents! Sharks! Ghost Armies! by Laurie Calkhoven.

Discover the secret tactics Americans used to win World War II in this fact-tastic part of a new series about the secrets of American History! Secrets of American History is an action-packed book that lets beginning readers in on a little secret: history is full of surprises! Want to know what invisible ink has to do with the American Revolution? Or why shark repellent and inflatable army tanks were used in World War II? Find out in this fact-filled series of fascinating true tales, wild adventures, and spy missions, and discover the secret side of American history! Before Julia Child was a famous chef, did you know she was cooking up shark repellent during World War II? It's true...and that's not the only exciting and interesting story from the war. Americans had to use clever and creative tactics to win their battles--tactics that included inflatable army tanks, costumes, and fake radio transmissions.
