Mostly True Tales: Life on the Farm in the Mid-1900s

Description

A charming book for young and old alike -- author Don Levi brings farm life before electricity alive to children who have never experienced the quiet of a world without the hum of computers, refrigerators, and the easy access to information through the television and internet. Living with Gram-Ma and Gram-Pa Denim brings children into the once real world of reading by candlelight, catching fish and frogs for dinner, and farming with livestock -- not gas-powered machines. A compelling read-aloud book for grandparents and grandchildren to connect over the changes in our world. Or, a wonderful fun read for older children. Classroom teachers use the text for teaching about the importance and role of electricity. Lesson plans are available for teachers and homeschooling parents ready to help today's children appreciate the importance of science, electricity, and how much life changed as we electrified our country's farms and rural areas.
