Marrin, Albert Years of Dust: The Story of the Dust Bowl, 122 p. Dutton (Penguin), 2009.
Marrin has written a beautiful, well-researched book on the history of the Dust Bowl. Every page of text is accompanied by by one or two of about 200 maps, illustrations, paintings, and the period photographs that make this time come alive for the modern reader.
Any classroom that studies the period will want this book. My own daughter is reading The Grapes of Wrath and when I showed her teacher, she immediately stole it from my hands to use as background information for her lessons. With a document camera in your classroom, you can’t go wrong.
