Have you ever wondered what your street was like thousands of years ago? This illustrated history book
for children takes you on a 12,000-year journey to find out the story of a single street.
Think of the street you live on. Now think of how it may have looked in the Stone Age in 10,000 BCE, or
in Victorian times during the Industrial Revolution, or how it may look 50 years from now. A Street
Through Time takes you on a time-travelling journey that you won't forget. Highly detailed illustrations
bring 15 key periods in time to life. You will see magnificent buildings go up and come down, new
churches built on the site of ancient temples, wooden bridges destroyed and then remade in stone, and
statues demolished then unearthed many years later. You'll find out how people lived long ago - the
tools they used, what they wore and what they did all day. Revised and updated for a new generation, A
Street Through Time now includes a possible look at the road 50 years in the future.
This treasure trove of a book is perfect for sparking curiosity and engaging young minds in the wonders
of history. It's a visual feast that transports readers through different eras, all while staying rooted
in one fascinating location.
Imagine the same street from the Stone Age to the Modern Day – it's like time-travelling without
leaving your classroom or living room! Each beautifully illustrated double-page spread captures a unique
moment in time, showing how the street and its inhabitants evolve. Your students can explore the
transition from muddy tracks to bustling urban centers, making connections between the past and present.
But wait, there's more fun to be had! Alongside the stunning visuals, this book is packed with little
titbits and facts that make history come alive. Use it as a springboard for creative projects, like
crafting dioramas of different time periods or writing diary entries from the perspective of someone
living in those eras. It's an engaging, hands-on way to teach history that will leave your students
eager for more. So grab your copy, and let's walk through time together!
