In preparation for our next trip, I decided to read aloud "If You Lived in Colonial Times." First of all, it isn't about Colonial Times in the American colonies, but Colonial Times in New England. However, even given the narrowed subject matter, I was surprised by much of the information and how it conflicted with what we'd learned about the colonies from other, more recent, sources. Much of the information in this book reflects outdated ideas and theories about the colonial period. For instance, there were marketplaces in colonial towns, which included vegetable and meat sales. The book explicitly says there were no markets and people made all their own goods. Religion was an important part of some of the colonies there weren't strict rules governing behavior in church nor did meetings last four hours on Sunday's as the book claims. At no point was slavery mentioned, and native Americans were only mentioned in terms of colonists learning about corn from the Indians and planting "in the Indian way." Half way through the book, it occurred to me to check the copyright page. The text copyright is 1964. Illustrations copyright is 1992. The cover says "New and Updated," but I suspect based on the copyright page that only the pictures were changed. The book itself could be a useful starting point if placed in context and elaborated upon, but since it's aimed at younger children (mine are 5 & 8 and listened intently), I'm concerned this book will be taken as fact. It desperately needs a true updating of content, and ideally the title, not just pictures. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very interesting and informative book for children *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2016* This is an extremely interesting book. My children learned from it and now I want my grand children to be able to read it. So I bought a copy for each household. I have always wondered about the strictness for church services that is described in this book. I have since learned that the was not that degree of strictness about church services. That is the only thing I found that was not, or did not, sound correct. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good beginner book into discovery of what life could have been like back in NE colonial days *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 29, 2020* Painted what life could have been like in colonial NE times. Generated alot of great questions, research and discussion. Expat homeschooling US History. Somethings mentioned were questionable but it is still a great read to paint a broad picture of what life was back then for kids and adults. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/1694000-if-you-lived-in-colonial-times](https://www.desertcart.es/products/1694000-if-you-lived-in-colonial-times) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
