Quick Summary

If your child enjoys the playful learning of "Pete the Cat" or the simple time-travel twists in "The Magic School Bus," they'll be hooked on this lively tour of then versus now. With an AR level of 2.2 and only 316 words, it's perfect for kindergarten through second-grade readers who are just beginning to explore how the world has changed.
