Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis

5.0

Read this with my 3rd grader. Excellent book to work through history/current events in the 1930s. Hits on the depression, Hoovervilles, group homes, charity vs mutual aid, the rise of Jazz and Swing, racism, trains, hobo-ism, etc. Lots of material here and easy to teach one chapter at a time.
