This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum. I have compiled and cited various reviews on these books, and additionally have listed online resources that will help teachers use these books for instructional purposes.

The Little House
The Little House
Written and Illustrated by: Virginia Lee Burton
"This classic in children’s literature focuses on change brought about by urban expansion. It shows what happens when the little house is surrounded by the approaching city. In a happy ending, the now dilapidated house is moved back to the country."
