I found this to be a fascinating trip through a period of history, told by real people -- mostly young people. The photos and diagrams add to the interest, as does the antique-looking design of the book. The amount of text on a page is not too overwhelming for kids, and the language is clear and easy to understand. Lots of good documentation, too. Definitely a solid non-fiction book for kids.
