Everyday Adventures of a Farm Boy in the '50s is a non-fiction book primarily for young readers, 10-years-old and up. A combination memoir/adventure storybook, it is filled with real-life tales of being a kid on a Wisconsin family farm half-a-century ago. Though written for children, it is also quite enjoyable for older readers who like stories about days gone by or about farm life of that generation.
The thirty chapters read like short stories more than a continuous tale, taking kids right back into the middle of the rural culture of that era. Rather than looking back at things like grown-ups tend to do, the first-person, present-tense narrative puts readers right alongside young Jimmy Pope as he and his brothers experience farm life as kids fifty years ago.
The "down home" style and good humor in Everyday Adventures make the reading fun and exciting for young people. At the same time, it teaches them about the cultural character of much of middle America back in that period of our country's history, and children learn that many of the values and life's principles for kids in that rural past are just as relevant to their own generation today.
Published by the Rural Heritage Reading Project, Everyday Adventures of a Farm Boy in the '50s is the first in a continuous series of four volumes from Jim Pope. The goal of RHRP is to provide children with informative and entertaining books about rural life in Wisconsin half-a-century ago.
