I loved looking at all the real pictures in this book. It has more pictures and little text therfore children would be more attracted to doing a little research of this time period. It starts with world war 1 and has different events leading up to world war 2. It goes through Women's rights, African American's rights, the first car, the great depression, migrants, sports events, Babe Ruth, Franklin Roosevelt, and changes around the war. It also has a glossary at the end. If a teacher is doing a unit on this time it would be a great book to have for students to use a primary source. ( )
