Amazon.com Review:
This 20th-century scrapbook for budding historians is a great trip through a remarkable century. Though it stops in 1996, the year-by-year survey is packed with information about advances in flight technology, genocide, medical miracles, wars, technology, and cloning. Coverage of each year is supplemented by trend pages that explore developments such as the resistance in World War II and feminism in the '70s. Also available are decade timelines, and biographies of leaders in science, the arts, government, and sports. Parents who love history will enjoy providing guided tours through these pages.

My middle school children learned so much with this book! The format is great because of the images that fill each page, but also because it includes historical "tidbits" that kids will gravitate to and remember (the first traffic light, fashions and fads, etc.). This book made 20th century fun for me and my kids and it facilitated learning at the same time. I would recommend it to anyone who has a child who loves history, and even more so for the child who does not.

The thing that sets this timeline apart from the others is its format-forget those ancient, yellowing volumes with microscopic lines of print and few pictures, this timeline (or "chronicle") has an open, easily read spread, abundant pictures, and clear descriptions of events. Another unique thing is the way events are described-in the form of newspaper articles from that period. Last, but certainly not least, two-page spreads on various issues such as Women's Suffrage, the Spanish Civil War, and Toys of the ... Read More

I teach second grade and find this book to be an excellent accessory to my curriculum. It's brevity and readability are its best assests. Our teacher of the gifted and talented also uses this book on many different grade levels and finds the same to be true.
