1: Very helpful
I first found Then and Now on a booklist for Sonlight's homeschool curriculum (for pre-K). It's a great help in teaching kids about the changes in society over the year. My 4yo son really enjoys looking at it and finding the differences between the pictures of "then" and "now."
Recommended!!

2: A great way to teach young children about time
How can you teach a preschooler about how society changes over time? It is a very difficult task, but one accomplished with this book. Filled with fabulous, detailed illustrations, this book compares the way things were done "then" (late 1800s/early 1900s)to how they are "now". I had fun discussions with my 4 year old daughter about how people used to cook,
shop, and farm, for example.
This is a book published from Great Britain, so there are a few little "Briti-cisms" (i.e. calling a sweater a "jumper"), but it is entirely appropriate for American audiences nonetheless.

3: Interesting and Educational
My son who is 7 loves this book. He loves to pour over this book and talk about the differences between different eras. This book is essentially a picture book with some writing. The pictures depict two scenes side by side from different times in history. For example, it might show the front of a general store with a dirt road, a stage coach, and wagon pulled by horses, women in long dresses etc. And on the other page it would show the front of a grocery store now with grocery carts, cars, etc.
