Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Since I wrote the first If You Lived book, I've been fascinated by the little-known stuff of daily living that makes up the rich fabric of the times I write about. If You Lived 100 Days Ago exposes the vast differences in how the rich and the poor lived. Though it is set in New York City, the life I depict could be in any big city at the turn of the century.
From the Inside Flap
A different time...A different place...What if you were there? If you lived 100 years ago --what kind of clothes would you wear? --what would you do for fun? --what would your school be like? --would you have a refrigerator or television?

Wonderful book,
This review is from: If You Lived 100 Years Ago (Paperback)
This book was very informative and helps the young reader to know what it would have been like to live in New York City at the turn of the last century. It touched on the rich and the poor, where they lived, where they worked, how they spent their leisure time, what life was like for the children, what they wore, what they ate, etc. It conveyed a lot of information in an easy, etertaining style. The illustrations are lovely. My kids all enjoyed it, from my second grader to my high schoolers, although the intended audience is probably about kindergarten through sixth grade.

Simplistic, but informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: If You Lived 100 Years Ago (Paperback)
I read this book to my child on the recomendation of a friend. The book proved interesting for both father and daughter alike. McGovern delves into both commonplace and idiosyncratic aspects of the world as it was a hundred years, providing an intelligent yet fun way for children to explore history.
