This informational overview of the Great Depression highlights the struggles, but also the kindness and generosity, of everyday Americans during the 1930s. Resources, Bibliography, Index. Engaging, very informative book about the Great Depression written for children ages 9 and older. The author clearly describes the causes and impact of the Great Depression on men, women and children of all classes but especially the poor and working class. Notably strong is her description of the suffering of migrant families and people who lived in the dust bowl. The author balances our understanding of the hardships experienced with a robust sense of how individuals and families supported and helped each other and the fun they had. My 10 year old daughter and I looked at the activities in the book and they seemed fun, relevant and enhanced the themes of the book. Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to review this book for an honest opinion. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

American history before and after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 Providing a balanced, realistic picture of a time rife with hardships, The Great Depression for Kids brings the era and key concepts to life. Kids learn about the harsh realities that most Americans could not escape, such as massive unemployment, natural disasters, and economic collapse. They also learn that the 1930s were a time when neighbors helped neighbors; sports figures behaved admirably; and an army of young men rebuilt the nation's forests, roads, and parks. Librarians delivered books on horseback, a curly-haired child star charmed moviegoers to "stand up and cheer" in the darkest of days, and a little African American girl became the first of her race to participate in the National Spelling Bee. Beginning with an in-depth look at the 1920s, the book builds readers' background knowledge to help set the stage for the decline of the economy over the next decade. Twenty-one crosscurricular activities help kids learn how to research, buy, and sell stocks; use scientific methods to conduct a survey, re-create Depression glassware; and much more.
