American author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau is best known for
living two years along the shores of Walden Pond in Concord,
Massachusetts, and writing about his experiences in Walden; or, Life in
the Woods, as well as spending a night in jail for nonpayment of taxes,
which he discussed in the influential essay "Civil Disobedience." More
than 150 years later, people are still inspired by his thoughtful words
about individual rights, social justice, and nature. His detailed plant
observations have even proven to be a useful record for 21st-century
botanists. Henry David Thoreau for Kids chronicles the short but
influential life of this remarkable American thinker. In addition to
learning about Thoreau's contributions to our culture, readers will
participate in engaging, hands-on projects that bring his ideas to life.
Activities include building a model of the Walden cabin, keeping a
daily journal, planting a garden, baking trail-bread cakes, going on a
half-day hike, and starting a rock collection. The book also includes a
time line and list of resources--books, websites, and places to visit
that offer even more opportunities to connect with this fascinating man. This book was reviewed in Thoreau Society Bulletin 295, Fall 2016, p. 7. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.

Think of a world without cold drinks, ice cream, and frozen foods. Believe it or not, such a world did exist. Luckily, in the early 1800s, people developed a way to preserve food and store it year-round -- and the amazing ice business was born. This was big business. Workers had to cut large blocks of ice from ponds, lakes, and rivers; store them in gigantic icehouses; and transport them to cities, where icemen and their wagons delivered the ice to homes.
