Our Century In Picture

I think this book is a great book for kids who really would like to learn about Americas past time. It gives you detailed information about are Nation times and the up's and downs. I learned lot from this book and it has a good twist from most books.

Best 20th Century Book for young people I've Seen.

I have purchased a variety of coffee table books for my exploratory/ information center at school. This is the best I've found about the 20th Century. I can easily use this for my students to show them the world of the 20th century. Especially appropriate for middle school students and higher grade elementary students. High school students could use it as well.

WOW

I received this book as a gift and was astonished by how great it actually is. It has so many wonderful pictures from the past 100 years and I feel that they explain every picture well enough so you can understand how in that time things were. I would suggest this to not just young people but to everyone so they can too learn more about the last century.
