Spend some time with Rosie & Family.

This book is a great look into family life at the turn of the century. It paints a vivid picture of the time in which it's set. Labor Unions, Votes for Women , Comming to America , the newfangled telephone , and more. All of these are woven into the stories Rosie tells about herself & her family. This book also encourages a love of writing and a understanding that some of the most interesting people can be found in ones own family.
