Gr 4-6-First-person narratives of two fictitious families, the Donatos of San Francisco and the Andersens, a Swedish-American farm family in Minnesota, offer personal views of American life in the 1940s. Crafts and activities enjoyed by the children are woven in throughout; they use easily obtainable materials, but may require adult supervision in some instances. By following the step-by-step instructions and good line drawings, readers can make a wide range of items, such as a victory garden, a flashlight, periscope, soft pretzels, crystal radio, pressed-flower bookmark, and wind vane. Sidebars give historical information relating to the war efforts of various groups, such as women, children, coastal inhabitants, and clothing designers. This is a valuable historical resource with unusual crafts that both entertain and educate. Combining it with Sylvia Whitman's V Is for Victory: The American Home Front during World War II (Lerner, 1992) will expand children's understanding of this pivotal era.-Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, NJ
