5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Homeschooling, April 18, 2003

By	Michelle P Woods (Orange Park, FL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Child's Day (Historic Communities) (Paperback)

We came across this book in our local library and so glad that we did. We are a homeschooling family and have found this book to be very helpful and interesting in comparing the past with the present. The set up of the book is wonderful too. It tells a story of settler family. Then it gives historical facts and interesting pictures to go along with the story. Great book, hope the library has the rest of the series. It makes learning history so much more interesting. My 2nd grade daughter is not a reader and she loves when we sit together and read and talk about Emily and John.

4.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book!, June 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Child's Day (Historic Communities) (Paperback)

What a lovely book for learning about the past! I would recommend it for readers 6-10 rather than an older age group. Simple stories about the daily life of two 19th century children, a boy and a girl, are interesting and easy to follow. It also offers many opportunities to discuss and compare pioneer times with contemporary life. A good book for teachers grades 1-4.
