Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a wide-ranging look at the lives of urban and rural children in the early twentieth century United States, using an innovative format that incorporates repeated phrases and sentence structures to provide a multi-faceted perspective. By starting each section with the phrase "city children" and mirroring its language to describe "farm children", the author draws several subtle parallels between these vastly different experiences. While children in the city are more likely to go to the zoo, the circus, and the movies, farm children engage with nature and have more freedom to roam. However, both groups of children share a common experience of family life, community, and the challenges of growing up. Ultimately, this book provides a nostalgic glimpse into the lives of children during this era, offering insights into the ways that their experiences were both unique and universal.
