What was it like in the past? toys / clothes / in the street / people at work (Hardcover)

These four books form a series that introduces children to the concept of the past and the fact that everyday objects have changed over time. The authors discuss how life in the past differs from life today, looking at each topic chronologically in decades from the 1900s to the 2000s. The books include a timeline running across the bottom of the spread to indicate which decade is being discussed. Case-study boxes provide anecdotes from the past.
