Editorial Reviews

"Informative and good for early researchers." – School Library journal, Series Made Simple

From the Publisher

04/01/2020

Gr 3–5—Adults who've had to explain commercials to children who are accustomed to streaming television, rejoice. This series explains just how far humans have come to have numerous options for instant entertainment and connection. Before TV and video games, people got their news and entertainment from radio, print sources, and live performances. Kids played board games or played with friends in person. Before social media and cell phones, contacting friends took more time. Readers will see clearly how the internet and computers have revolutionized our daily lives. Time line photos show the evolution of devices in a concrete way. A quick set of questions at the end of each book tests reader comprehension. Though the writing isn't particularly exciting, it's informative and good for early researchers. VERDICT A fine additional purchase.
