K-3Amicus Readers: 100 Years Ago series.
Well-selected archival photographs are the most useful element of these simple overviews of inventions that have profoundly changed our lives. The easy-to-read text accompanying the photos occasionally raises unintentional questions: "People drove to the tops of mountains. They drove to the edge of cliffs. They even drove into the sea!" Report writers will probably find more substance at the suggested websites. Ind. Review covers these Amicus Readers: 100 Years Ago titles: Cars 100 Years Ago and Phones 100 Years Ago.
