"This book is a great resource for so many reason. First, it can be used to talk about the early european immigrant experience (1880-1920). Secondly, the book contains so many photos that can be use in a lesson in themselves, such as writing prompts. My third reason for liking this book it is not overwhelming. Teachers for 3 and up can benefit from using this book in their class in different ways. My last,is for a more personal reason. I have a hard time when I come across a student, who believes that the word immigrant means someone who is Mexican. Exposure is key and this is just one more book that I think should be in your classroom libraries."
This book is great for pairing up with a historical fiction book on immigration. It allows students to see what it was like for immigrant children in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They can compare the information provided in the book with the historical fiction book to determine what was true historically. The pictures add to the text in that they show the immigrant children coming through Ellis Island, at home, work, and school."
