3.0 out of 5 stars Childtimes, January 22, 2012
This book is a great insight to three generations of black women during their childhood and while growing up. I loved the different aspects and events in each women's life and it gives you a small glimpse of what their overall family life was like. This is a book written for young adults, but I enjoyed it as well because of the historical content. It's an overall fast and enjoyable read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Childtimes, March 22, 2009

(REAL NAME)   
Ths truly is a gem. Life in the south and for Black Americans in general covering 3 generations is discussed. But it is more about a family's love for eachother. Couldn't put it down. Had to read it all the way through in one sitting. Gave it to a teacher friend who grew up in the south. She read it in one sitting. I bought this book originally because one of its stories is featured in the Open Court 2002 reading series in a unit on heritage. Didn't realize it was still in print. Not just for kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is outstanding!!, June 15, 1998
By A Customer
I love Childtimes by Eloise Greenfield. I read Childtimes as a fifth grader. It was a wonderful book that should be read by all--young and old.
