Peek into the past to learn how children lived during the first decades of the Twentieth Century, the “century of the child.” Some children still toiled in factories, mills, mines, and on farms. Other more fortunate children could play and have fun in a brand-new world filled with electricity, cars, airplanes, indoor plumbing, and the nation’s first amusement parks. Readers find out how times changed. Girls could ride bikes wearing shorter skirts or bloomers instead of long dresses. Cars and trucks were replacing horse-drawn wagons and carriages. Boys taught their fathers how to drive. World news also affected children’s lives—the sinking of the ship Titanic, World War I, and the 1918 flu pandemic, which killed fifty million people worldwide. Personal accounts in letters and diaries, penned by writers famous and unknown, plus numerous photos, reveal children’s lives—their homes, schools, and what they did for entertainment. Included are excerpts from Growing Up in World War II and Growing Up in Pioneer America. This newly revised edition of a previously published print book is perfect for students middle grade and up, teachers, librarians, and history buffs. Loaded with resources: photos, activities, recipes, tech tips, videos, and websites.
