Kids Make History, offers twenty different account of different historical periods told through the eyes of a child at the time. The first account is from Pocahontas in 1607. The book is set up in chronological order, ending with a young boy's account of September 11th. Each account is two pages in length. The authors begin by giving a brief description of the child. Then the authors go into detail about what life was like for the child and how they were affected by what the adults were doing. I think this book would be a great addition to any social studies class. The authors give the reader a great view of how a child viewed the events going on around them. And it shows children readers that kids have a story worth telling and worth reading about too. More often then not, history is told through the eyes of the adults. Children are mentioned, but often not in great detail. The book changes that and shows that "Kids Make History" .

I rated the book 3 stars because I did not appreciate the authors ignorance when referring to Native Americans as Indians. The term is outdated, inaccurate, and ignorant to describe America's indigenous people. ( )
