Summary

Part cultural-literacy, part "street smarts" and all edu-taining, kids will love reading this as much as their parents will enjoy watching their children get smarter by the page. Dozens of fifth grade teachers reported on "aha" moments for their students; casual asides that 5th graders got really excited about, and clear gaps in kids' knowledge. All of the information is presented visually and in short formjust the way kids like it.This engaging reference will teach kids:what it means to "dial a phone" (a telecommunications timeline goes from rotary phones to smart phones) About credit cards and currency (including cool currencies like chocolate and shells) How to appreciate major works of art The basic tenets, texts, and founder of every major religion How to use chopsticks What they must eat in every region of the U.S. How to be well-rounded students of life
