Description: "Who knew that saving bacon fat could help win the war? Or skimping on sugar? While millions of soldiers ship out to fight on battlefronts in Europe and the Pacific, millions of men, women, and children step into new and exciting roles in cities and towns all across the United States. Four curious kids take us into factories, farms, and even kitchens to show what the fight on the homefront looks like up close!"--Provided by publisher.
