Karie Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 We are just starting into the turn of the century (1900) in history. We will be hitting Teddy Roosevelt, Spanish-American War, and WW1 in the next few weeks. I have plenty of RA books for the 30's and 40's, but I don't have anything right now for the time period we are in. If you could recommend a good book for me to read to them, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
