"When I Was Your Age...": How Things Change
eBook
( April 3, 2014)
"Things change. Things have always changed. But long ago, changes happened slowly. Today, change happens quickly. If you wait to buy something for even a few weeks, you might end up looking at a “new and improved” model.
Ask your parents. Ask your grandparents. They’ll be happy to tell you what it was like “When I Was Your Age…”
So begins this picture book which shows children how inventions have been changed and/or improved in the last two generations. Children who may never know what measles are like might want to know about inventions that saved lives in the "old days" like iron lungs. That was only 50 years ago.
Did you ever build a crystal radio set? Check out books from a bookmobile? Do your homework while riding a school bus? Walk somewhere in the winter going uphill both ways? Or were those the tales told you by your parents? It's time to hand those images down to the next generation - and all of it's real.
