  Offering an introduction to history, this series meets the requirements of ATs 1, 3 and 4 of the National Curriculum at Key Stage 1. Using historical and contemporary photographs, it looks at the way in which Britain has changed since 1930, invites young readers to make comparisons with their own experiences and encourages them to reinforce their understanding of the past by talking to older relatives. The text is interspersed with personal accounts. Focusing on travel, this book treats the subject thematically rather than chronologically. It thus shows how different types of transport have developed and changed. The personal accounts include memories of a trip on a liner, steam engines, flying boats and a first car journey.
