Armchair Time Travel for Kids

Will people ever be able to time travel? I don't know, but I hope so. Until then, I'm going to experience as much time travel as I can while sitting in my favorite reading chair. Experiment with the idea of jumping backwards in time and experiencing history firsthand. Or maybe you'll read about jumping forwards in time and finding out if there really are flying cars in the future.  Either way, you won't know if you like time travel until you try it...or try reading about it.
