  This book features a modern family using various methods of transport, including: a bus; a car; a train; a tram; an aeroplane; a bicycle; a motorbike; a boat and a coach. On the right-hand page of each spread is a photograph of an equivalent activity as practised in the 1940s and 1950s. This book is one of a series which compares life as it is today with 50 years ago. Each book focuses on one modern family with I remember panels featuring an older member of the family reminiscing about life 50 years ago. This should encourage readers to talk to their own grandparents to learn about their past. The easy-to-read, dual-level text is intended to help children identify differences between the past and the present. Each book includes notes for parents and teachers and gives further information about the photographs.
