Hit: Books on the Great Depression

[Ruthanne McCarthy <YAKINAL@AOL.COM>]

Hi, Thanks for the  wonderful variety of responses for books that could be read 
aloud to sixth grade students to introduce them to the Great Depression. Here are 
the suggestions:
The Babe and I
Uncle Jed's Barbershop
Nowhere to Call Home by Cynthia DeFelice
Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt by C. Coco DeYoung
The Velvet Room by Zilpha Keatley Snyder;
Blue Willow by Gates
Treasures in the Dust (don't remember author)
The American Girl Series offers KIT with stories about the depression
A Long Way From Chicago by Richard Peck
Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
Out of the Dust, Karen Hesse- dust bowl
Dave at Night Gail Carson Levine - focus is more on the Harlem Renaissance

Mary Weyant suggests playing “Brother, Can you spare a Dime” also.


TIA.
