Summary

Kids will discover the richness of the Victorian period in America as they follow the lives of the Mobarts and the Kadinskys of New York City. This new addition to the American Kids in History "RM" Series will give modern kids a first-hand look at what life was like in the late 1800s. They'll join twelve-year-old William Hobart as he makes a tin-can telephone, and eleven-year-old Mary Kadinsky as she makes paper flowers and cinnamon bread sticks. They'll be able to try over thirty fun and easy projects, recipes, activities, and games, including creating Victorian Christmas ornaments, sewing a drawstring trinket bag, and making rock candy crystals, plus lots more!
