A very cool book that teaches a ton of fun facts about the past in a Q & A-style format that makes learning history fun, fun, fun! I started reading this book to my son, and after a while realized that I was engrossed in it and he wasn't even paying attention.

This is a decent book, but I wish the illustration is better than the current style.

I think this is a great book for children to read. Sometimes I don’t think children understand how much things have changed in a hundred years. New technologies have made the living situation much better. I like how they explained that sports were just being invented a hundred years ago and the rich and the poor traveled in very different ways.

I loved this book! I could spend hours reading this book and digging deeper. It is so cute and I know students would love learning about the life styles of people from 100 years ago and that is what the book focuses on.

Amazing presentation of history for children. Loved the illustrations as well.

I don't think this is the book that Donna is reading on West Wing for an entire show. Cute, but it's for kids.

Some of the historical information was interesting, but I couldn't get past the blatant racism and classism.

I loved this book. The illustrations will help younger children enjoy the book and really fun and interesting facts are shared. This would be a great book to help children fall in love with history.

Great history book for children!

Not so good. Because it gave me nightmares.

Reading this book was fun, where the book showed what you would have been doing if you were high class or lower class. It also showed that the lower class had less but were humble.

This was a fun read, a nice long picture book about life in 1900's New York. What I learned corresponds very nicely with the setting of the old public domain books I'm hooked on.
And don't get me started on the illustrations! <3
I'm a sucker for illustrations.
