Mi Primer Larousse De Los Como Se Hace?/ My First Larousse of How Is It Made?

The varied projects in this volume present readers with more than a dozen lenses through which to learn about the progress and impact of the Industrial Revolution, and the tide of industrialization it unleashed, in the United States. Broad questions prompt readers to engage with major themes in civics, geography, economics, and history. A wealth of background information helps readers understand how these themes play out in the context of the profound shifts in the American economy and society that took place in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Young people are always interested in those in the community who make it run, especially uniformed heroes such as firefighters and police officers. This fun volume walks readers around town introducing them to community workers, including the mail carrier, dentist, and librarian. Carefully chosen photographs correlate with the achievable vocabulary and illustrate characteristics of each job.
