    Book is a wonderful visual for going deeper into the era!
  

*by N***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2014*

We bought this book as a supplement to the audio CD below.After listening to the CD and getting this book, we weren't expecting the wonderful surprise of interest it all generated in our family!  Unbelievably powerful!Oh, and the photographer is Lewis Hine.This book is a wonderful supplement to this story and going deeper into the era!http://www.amazon.com/Counting-Grace-Elizabeth-Winthrop/dp/0739339028/ref=tmm_abk_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1392225012&sr=8-1Two years ago we listened to the audio CD (six CDs).I am STILL recommending it to friends.Highly recommend the audio CD!I had originally got it mainly for our 10 y.o. to listen to while in the car  I had planned for other things for our younger kids to do while DS was listening.  We ALL were so into it!  (Age range 4-10 and myself!)  The kids would immediately ask for me to turn it back on to continue whenever we got in the car.  After we finished the CDs, they as to hear it AGAIN!  It was just as good the second time.As far as audio CDs go, they are often only as good as the reader.  This one definitely hits the mark!  This reader is wonderful and easy to listen to.  Not boring at all!  Moves along smoothly and quickly.Don't skip the author interview at the end!  This too is fabulous!  Provides so much interesting insight into the story.  Do not listen to the interview first, it may skew your vision of the story a bit.There is also a free teacher's guide at the author's website.[...]These would make a delightful gift pairing for any child.

    Hate school? Your life could be so much worse...
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2004*

Freedman has collected dozens of black and white photographs taken by Lewis Hine during the first decades of the twentieth century. Hine worked as an investigational photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC). The NCLC wanted the United States government to pass laws concerning child labor, and thought that photos of the work children did would be more effective persuaders than mere speeches and statistics. Hine traveled the nation with his camera taking photographs, sometimes despite risk to his person.The text of the book serves partly as a brief biography of Lewis Hine, and partly as explanatory backdrop for the scenes in the photographs. Freeman gives enough background information to put the images in their context, but not so much data as to overwhelm the reader. The machines, tools and environments are so strange to the modern eye that without clarification, many pictures would be meaningless.The most shocking photographs in the collection are of the young boys involved in the coalmines. The filth on their faces, hands and clothing is astonishing. By comparison, the dangers and deplorable conditions of working in a cotton mill are not as readily apparent as those of working in a coal mine. However, reading Freeman's text exposes the dangers of moving machinery and smothering lint and humidity not so clear in the photos.The book concludes by sharing the changes in child labor laws that Hine's photographs helped bring about, as well as information on the child labor situation of today.This book is full of eye opening and shocking information for the unaware. School may be hard, but without child labor laws things could be so much worse.

    MANDATORY READING FOR ALL INGRATEFUL CHILDREN
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2009*

A sadly little known fact: 100 years ago children in this country followed Africans and immigrants as the slaves du jor. Who was their emancipator? Public school teachers, and specifically Lewis Hine, whose photographic work has had a comeback thanks to Neil Peart and Rush using modified photos of his in one of their videos (Working Those Angels). While the TV keeps lying about teachers and schools being the enemy (because educated people don't buy their crap or watch many of their shows), the descendants of those mine and factory owners get their revenge through their lackey politicians that continue to undermine schools financially, institutionally, and culturally (No Child Left Behind, less funding, name calling, etc.). This book will hopefully wake people (especially children) up to what 80% of the world faces to this day and make us realize we are the luckiest people in the world to have a school system where a child can choose whatever they want to be (unlike the so-called superior European and Asian school systems). The only other solution to this flood of ingratitude would be expatriation or time travel, both of which are impractical. Remember the true heroes, the ones who keep civilization afloat, who risked the death penalty teaching slaves, who are always targeted first in a military dictatorship. Stop the negativity and remember who the real bad guys are--anyone who denies you an education.
