This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum. I have compiled and cited various reviews on these books, and additionally have listed online resources that will help teachers use these books for instructional purposes.

When I Was Just Your Age
When I Was Just Your Age
Written by: Robert Flynn
Edited by: Susan Russell
"As they reminisce about their childhood, thirteen interviewees chronicle life in Texas and other parts of the West during the early part of the twentieth century. This collection of oral histories is intimate, authentic, and filled with arresting details...As a child Mary Chism saw how a tornado ‘blowed a (400 pound) sow on up a tree and scalded the hair off her.’.. this marvelous book concludes with valuable activities for young historians who wish to collect the living memories that surround them."
