|
|  Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame turns American history into an exciting time-travel adventure, with a moral lesson. For young adults in Grades 6-12+, this is a beautiful book that even adults will treasure.
Amazing photographs illustrate Anthonys journey through time: Anthony is in the photos! Anthony walks on the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, plays baseball with Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, and flies from New York to Paris with Charles Lindbergh. He storms the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, cries with survivors of the Holocaust, and watches battle-weary marines raise the American flag on Iwo Jima. He helps Thomas Edison invent the phonograph, the light bulb, and the motion picture camera. He meets FDR, and works with Doctor Jonas Salk to conquer polio. He meets his great-grandfather at Ellis Island in 1907: together they fight in the trenches of World War I, struggle through the Great Depression, and start a business in America. Anthony does all of these things by stepping through the Magic Picture Frame on his bedroom wall.
This book is historically accurate: even Anthonys conversations with the people of the past are based on things they really said, all properly footnoted.
The book includes educational tools for parents and teachers: recommendations for hundreds of books, movies, songs, and places to visit, all keyed to the subjects of each chapter.
And finally, every chapter teaches a moral lesson. Anthony discusses the nature of good and evil, right and wrong, war and peace, what it means to be an American, honor and discipline, success and achievement, courage and destiny, God and purpose. Anthony learns that the heroes of the past have something important to tell us: that the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose, and doing the right thing always matters. |
