If You Lived 100 Years Ago Book

This was a pretty good little overview for the younger set. Loved the illustrations. It did, at times, seem a bit biased in favor of pitying the poor and vilifying the wealthy (though under the conditions of the era, I can understand that inclination). I would have preferred the author vary her terminology for the upper class rather than refer to them as "rich people" throughout. However, if the goal is to show kids today how good they have it in comparison to late 19th century era NYC, this should do the trick. I liked how the author worked in a question and answer format, answering questions like "Were there bathrooms in tenements?" and "What did things cost in 1890?" It was very accessible.
