Innovative American History Book Wins Parent-to-Parent's Adding Wisdom Award; This Book 'Totally Rocks!'
April 20, 2007 (Press Release) --
Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame, by Seattle author Michael S. Class, won Parent-to-Parent's Adding Wisdom Award for 2007 in two categories: Best Children's Books, and Best Educational Books. The award honors products of outstanding quality that support family values. The book was judged by parents and teachers: The award program's "family testers" are real families who test the products.
"Our family testers found Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame to be delightfully fun, incredibly educational, and totally exciting. Until this book, American history has never been so intriguing as modern-day Anthony travels into the past to meet America's heroes and learns life's lessons. Michael Class has just pushed the envelope into a whole new division . . . it totally rocks!" says Jodie Lynn, the syndicated parenting/health expert, and the CEO/founder of www.AddingWisdomAward.com. In 2006, Jodie Lynn authored the parenting book, Mom CEO: Chief Everything Officer - Having, Doing and Surviving It All!
What makes Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame "totally rock," and why is this American history book so exciting? Because the author's real-life son, twelve-year-old Anthony, time-travels into the great events of the 20th Century! Advanced digital photography places Anthony in the cockpit of the Spirit of St. Louis with Charles Lindbergh, on the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, in the laboratories of Thomas Edison and Jonas Salk, and on Normandy beach on D-Day. Anthony "meets" and "talks with" Thomas Edison, Jonas Salk, FDR, Lou Gehrig, Charles Lindbergh, Audie Murphy, and many others. Historical accuracy rules every page of Anthony's adventure in time: Anthony’s conversations with America’s heroes are based on things they really said.
The Web site, www.MagicPictureFrame.com, displays some of the book's amazing photographs.
"I am thrilled that Anthony and the Magic Picture Frame has won Parent-to-Parent's Adding Wisdom Award," says Class. "Creating the book was a challenge, but I had a dream: to let the heroes of America's past speak directly to the children of today. To capture the interest of today's kids, I took a unique photographic approach. But, I also designed the book to help parents and teachers by including recommendations for hundreds of books, movies, music, and places to visit. I am honored to be recognized for this new approach. I hope Anthony's story will inspire young Americans to lead full, productive, and purposeful lives."
Class recommends his book for young adults, Grade 6 to Grade 12.
