[Mickey Bits · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a history book written for children in upper grades or middle school. The chapters are detailed enough to be used a source for research projects and assignments and the illustrations and maps help make the material accessible and relevant. As I write this in 2025, the book is a bit dated yet the vast majority of material is as relevant as it was when the book was written. Although the current zeitgeist when it comes to research papers usually begins at Wikipedia or at a ChapGPT prompt, this would be an excellent example of a usable source in situations where teacher eschew online technology and revert to more analog techniques. It is a tragedy that such skills are quietly going unused and rapidly being forgotten. Books like this, used correctly, can be great teaching tools contributing to increased literacy for student who may not even know what they are missing!
