Six Days in October: The Stock Market Crash of 1929: A Wall Street Journal Book for Children

I would say, it is a nice storyline around 1929 especially the six days when the whole period of Decade long great depression started. Good information around some of the crucial people at that time around stock exchange.

I enjoyed this book. It provided a good overview of the days before the crash and the events that followed. It was an easy read and entertaining.

Great book to teach my 8th grader about the Great Depression.

Six Days in October is exceptionally well written! As an adult I appreciated the thorough research, helpful explanations and easy flow of the material. I learned information I did not know, yet should have learned long ago. Middle School readers on up can learn from and appreciate this book. I donated it to our local school's library when I finished it, because I think it is especially useful for students.

It was good. But, at the ending, it was sad. To say good-bye to something you really love is hard. For example, a broken toy you had for years. It's hard to say good-bye.

Great book to introduce Crash. Great illustrations to use as primary sources. Easy to read and flows nicely so even my middle schoolers will find it "readable."

This is a great book for anyone wanting to understand what actually happened in 1929. It provides great learnings for any investor.

I purchased this book because my daughter's teacher recommended it and it was not in her school library. It's a great introduction to this time in our country's history for this age group. I will likely donate it to her school library when we are finished with it.
