This is really a useful book - a history lesson about Polish immigration to America addressed to children and teenagers over 9 years old.Interestingly written with short history of Poland and the history of immigration to America and the explanation why Poles left their countryside.It contains nice photographs to help to understand the text and also some extra info - about Polish names and how they were modified in America, about Polish food (some recipes) and Polish tradition.

This was a used library book. Although a little informative, I expected more than just pictures with captions. Pictures were great.

not much new here for a Polish person

Very little meaningful content. Much of the information was not unique to Polish immigrants. Would not purchase again.

Received book as described. Fast shipping. Thank you.
