antidote for those children who have not yet caught the history bug! Below is a list of our favorite history kids books, organized by historical time period.

Well-chosen children's history books are not only great resources for teaching history lessons; they also can bring these "long ago" events and people to life when part of a required reading list. We've seen it firsthand and it is so exciting to see kids light up because of it! We love historical fiction ourselves, and have found that children's / young adult historical fiction books can often be just as compelling as those for use grown ups.
And, we want to make a special plug for the Dear
America and My Name is America
fictional memoir series. We LOVE them! Each one is written by a
popular authors and is packed with fascinating historical facts and
personal experiences. Kids love these books, often ending up feeling
like they have a "friend" who lived during the time period depicted.
Such a powerful teaching supplement!
