Andrea Bentley

I ordered 20th Century American History for Kids by Andrea Bentley to supplement our homeschool social studies curriculum. I am very pleased with this book. It covers many events of the twentieth century: women’s suffrage, all the wars, the Space Race, the rise of the personal computer and the internet, and much more. The only thing I wish had not been included was the very last entry about unrest at home and abroad. That selection is basically about bombing and homegrown terrorism. While show more those things did happen and need to be talked about at some point, I know both my 5YO and 8YO would be uncomfortable reading those.

One thing I appreciated about 20th Century American History for Kids was that it lacked any political agenda. The facts were presented. If an issue (example: gun control) was mentioned, the text briefly stated both sides of the issue and then moved on without interjecting the author’s opinion.

I am pleased with 20th Century American History for Kids by Andrea Bentley. I think it will be an asset to our homeschool curriculum. I even relearned some things that I had forgotten!
