  Offering an introduction to history, this series meets the requirements of ATs 1 and 3 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 holidays, this book treats its subject thematically rather than chronologically. With the aid of photographs of holiday camps, the pier, adventure holidays and modern resorts, it discusses how the holiday has developed and how the way people spend their leisure time has changed. The personal accounts include memories of a first visit to the seaside, a first trip abroad and a visit to Butlins.
