Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Born in 1947? Then you weren't just alive for it. You were there.You were there when the television set came into the living room. You were there when schoolchildren lined up to help test the polio vaccine, when Elvis sang on Sunday night, when Sputnik beeped across the sky, and when the 50-star flag went up for the first time. You cast your first vote in 1968 and watched two men walk on the Moon the next summer.This large print book collects 101 of those firsts and everyday wonders, from the milkman, the party line and the Sunday drive to the Mustang, the Beatles and Apollo 11. It runs from the year you were born to the end of the 1960s and covers what girls and boys both remember.- One story per page, each with the date and the reader's age at the time- A "Your Turn" question on every page to get the stories flowing at the kitchen table- Easy-to-read 18-point type on a roomy 7 x 10 page- Original line drawings throughout, plus full-page illustrations- A To, From and Date page for your personal message- No filler: no pages of birth and death lists, only storiesA thoughtful 80th birthday gift for a mother, father, grandparent or friend born in 1947.
