I don't remember who gave this book to my kids (or even which kid actually received it, come to think of it), but I owe them a debt. It's a fabulous picture book that packs a tremendous amount of history into just a few pages! The illustrations are wonderful, and you could spend a good chunk of

time just looking at them and discussing them with the child of your choice before you even get around to reading the text. Once you do read it, however, you'll need to spend another chunk of time looking again, because Anne Millard gives you even more things to look for--some that even involve going a few hundred years back looking for clues to things you'll find happening in the future.

Now that my kids are beyond the picture book stage--or so they tell me, anyway--I've actually brought this one to school for my junior high classroom. There's so much in it to support things I teach in sixth and seventh grade social studies...plus, if students have nothing better to do, I can always suggest they try out the "Where's Waldo"-style hunt on each page, looking for the time-traveling historian Henry Hyde. :) Show Less

I think this book is appropriate for children ages 5+.

This is a great picture story book. In a series of fourteen detailed illustrations, the story of human history is told by exploring a street as it evolves from 10,000 BCE to the present day. We see the landscape and daily lives of the street's inhabitants change, as the small settlement grows into

a city, is struck by war and plague, and gains trade and industry. Throughout, children are asked to study the photos in order to find a time traveler in each scene, as well as to pick out interesting details, encouraging them to pore over the unique illustrations and more easily learn about the historical background. While most appropriate for ages 9 and up, this book works as a teacher-guided picture-book for 1st and 2nd grade children. Show Less
