If you are looking for a way to teach kids history, look no more. Get a copy of 19TH CENTURY AMERICAN HISTORY FOR KIDS and share it with every kid (no age limit) you know. Kids who are already fascinated with history will devour it, and picky readers will find the five easy to read chapters perfect for attention grabbing doses of the past.
This fact-filled volume covers 1801 to 1900. Using 3-4 page articles, it presents highlights from history in a well-researched, engagingly written style. Scattered throughout are small bit-sized tidbits about people and issues that expand on the information in the main text.
Topics include THE LOUSIANA PURCHASE, TRAIL OF TEARS, THE DRED SCOTT CASE, EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION, and ROBBER BARONS & CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY just to name a few. Included at the end of the book is a glossary and resources for further exploration.
This reviewer was impressed that so much material could be packed into just over 100 pages. Events I remember learning about in history class were more clearly explained with facts I hadn't previously known. Kudos to author Kelly Milner Halls for making history come alive!
Thank you to Callisto Media for the review copy.
