History Stories for Children

by John W. Wayland, Michael J. McHugh (Editor)

Includes 62 stories intended primarily for use by teachers and parents of children in grades 3 and 4. The events and personalities were chosen mainly from the history of the United States as well as a few Old World stories. Industrial and social conditions are portrayed along with important moral and character building principles. Many of these short stories have been especially adapted for use in connection with the various holidays and anniversaries that fall within the school year. At the end of some of the stories are supplementary notes addressed to the teacher or parent, intended to supply additional information.

[John Yelverton · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a nice book of stories about historical people and events for children, but my only complaint is that sometimes it oversimplifies to story to the point of making it nearly irrelevant. I think that children are smarter than the author gives them credit for being.
