  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. Treating its subject thematically rather than chronologically, this book looks at the changes that have occurred in the food that people eat. It discusses the influence of modern kitchen equipment and technology, and its personal accounts include memories of a local sweet shop and a shopping trip and a meal time in the 1950s.
