Bo and the Baking Disaster

A parent, teacher, or older teen might reach for this book when studying early 20th-century American history or literature to better understand the language of the time. Despite its title, this book is not a children's story. It is a specialized, academic glossary of American slang from the 1900s to the 1930s, with a focus on the Roaring Twenties. This reference work is intended for adult readers and researchers interested in historical linguistics. It is crucial for parents to know that this book contains extensive historical slang that is now considered highly offensive, including ethnic slurs, derogatory terms, and references to criminal activity. It is a tool for historical context, not for casual reading or vocabulary building with children.
