Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-This well-researched, pleasantly laid out volume includes plenty of captioned illustrations, large typeface, a clear text, and extensive source notes. The text begins with a chapter on "Growing up with War" and takes readers through the start of the 19th century. Accounts of real children move the events along. Sybil Ludington was a 16-year-old war heroine, while Ben Franklin's son, William, helped his father with his kite/electricity experiment, and three Waterhouse children were injected with the first cowpox vaccine, developed by their father. Postwar westward expansion and the nation's burgeoning population are discussed. Child-rearing methods, which might seem harsh by today's standards, were more humane than they were before the war, when babies were discouraged from even crawling. Education, home life, courtship, and marriage are all explained. The lack of rights of slaves and married women is clarified. The text is accompanied by black-and-white and color illustrations, including a number of drawings and portraits as well as photographs of artifacts. Children interested in the topic will enjoy browsing through this title, and there is plenty of information for reports. This is inviting history.

From Booklist

Gr. 4-7. This volume from the new Our America series focuses on the lives of young people during the American Revolution and through the end of the eighteenth century. Six short chapters spotlight topics such as educational expectations for boys and girls and shifting trends in child rearing. Each double-page spread includes at least one illustration, such as a portrait painting, an engraving, or a photograph of a sampler or a corset. Besides brightening the pages with color, the images are well chosen for illustrating the text. Appendixes include "Activities" (which might more accurately be called "assignments"), source notes, a selected bibliography of sources, and suggested books for further reading. The layout features many illustrations, sidebars, and lines from the text pulled out and repeated in large, italicized type. Other volumes in the series will introduce the lives of American children at different periods in our history. Carolyn Phelan

3.0 out of 5 stars Good read over priced, September 5, 2009
I enjoyed the whole 15 minutes it took me to read this book. While the book had some good and interesting points, it was just watered thin with reused quotes and big lettering. Half of the book comes from quotes in diaries, which I thought was cool at a historical point of view, but I only needed to read it once. Often what was quoted from the diaries was also used in chapter headings or side quotation. I liked reading about the daily life and social activies of the people. That is where the book really shines. It really gave you a feeling of what it was like to live those people. But the price...way to much for so little information. Borrow it from your library, or buy it used. The contents aren't worth more the $7 let alone $26. It a good book for young children who might want a sample of this time in history but for any real in depth reading, I will keep looking else where.
