Basic Skills Caucasian Americans Workbook

The world of Caucasian Americans comes alive through humorous history lessons, puzzles and word games for all ages. This revised edition provides young readers with accurate accounts of the lives of the Caucasian Americans, who, long ago, roamed the USA. Even in times past, Caucasians were not all the same. Not all of them lived in gated communities or drove SUVs. They were not all techie geeks or power-hungry bankers. It is hoped that the youngsters who read these pages will realise the role that Caucasian Americans played in making the world what it is today.

Reviews"For many years, I've recommended this amazing book as anthropological source material in the education of young children. Beverly Slapin has captured the essence of what it was really like to have lived as a Caucasian American."

"Every public library that values a balanced social studies section must have this 'go-to' resource on understanding Caucasian Americans. Delightful illustrations, word scrambles and other exercises make it fun as well as truly educational; and it makes a great recommendation for family car trips."

"This remarkable work is key to understanding the abstruse and non-intuitive premises underlying the Caucasian worldview and motivational impeti."
