The past few days, I have been flipping through an extremely fascinating book called Wounded Tiger by T. Martin Bennett.  This book is the true story of the pilot who let the attack on Pearl Harbor.  I haven’t had the chance to read it in full yet, but I’m eager to dive into it.  The main reason I haven’t had the chance to read it is that my children love history!  They’ve all run off with the book, leaving me to scramble to get my hands on it.  They are loving reading more about Pearl Harbor and this amazing story.

For starters, I was really surprised how big the book is!  I was quite overwhelmed at first, however flipping through, I found that a lot of the book consists of photos and maps to greater understand the story.  In fact, there are over 300 photos/letters/maps/images included.  Wounded Tiger includes historically accurate perspectives of the Pacific War from both the Japanese and American sides

I can’t wait to finish reading!

Wounded Tiger is the true, character-driven story of the Japanese pilot who led the Pearl Harbor attack, an American prisoner of war, and a college girl who becomes the fulcrum of change in this epic book. Three incredibly different people’s paths cross in ways so remarkable that it would be hard to believe if it weren’t so well documented. This is a meticulously researched true story of hatred, love, revenge, and redemption.

For more information, you can visit the Wounded Tiger website.  On the website, you can even read the first few chapters for free!

My kids and I watched The Prince of Egypt The Musical today.  We loved it!  Definitely recommend it as a family movie to watch and enjoy.  We were all fascinated at the cast using their bodies as the river of water and the intense drama that could be felt through every scene.  The beautiful songs were our favorite part and filled with so much passion.

You can buy or rent The Prince of Egypt on digital starting December 5th!

Info:

Filmed live at the West End’s Dominion Theatre, London, the show features a cast and orchestra of 60 performers, making it one of the biggest musicals ever staged. The Prince of Egypt: The Musical is the must-see event for all fans of musical theatre. Based on the classic DreamWorks Animation film the classic story has been brought to life by Stephen Schwartz’s “miraculous music” (Time Out), including Academy Award®-winning song ‘When You Believe’ and Sean Cheesman’s “astonish- ing choreography” (The Guardian). This epic, critically acclaimed produc-tion tells an inspiring tale of resilience and hope. Journey through the wonders of Ancient Egypt as two young men, raised together as brothers in a king-dom of privilege, find themselves suddenly divided by a secret past. One must rule as Pharaoh, the other must rise up and free his true people; both face a destiny that will change history forever.
