Customer Reviews

remembering is good...

School in grandma's Day is a wonderful trip back to school in the 40's, and a surprising experience for those kids of today who are in 4-6th grades. The featured Grandma, Gloria Jenkins, has put together a highly interesting account with great photos of her childhood school experiences. Good reading for all school libraries.

Kids Experience School in Grandma's Time

This is a great way for kids to get the feel for what it was like for Grandma back when she went to school during World War II. The actual photos and mementos from the past of the featured grandma, Gloria Jenkins, are precious (as is the photo of her with her present-day grandchildren). It is an interesting read for adults as well as children and can provide a link between the generations, making one marvel at how different things are now as compared to then. I hope all grade school libraries get this book as well as the others in the "In Grandma's Day" series.
