This is a weird suggestion, but the American Girl Doll book Samantha Learns a Lesson has the most ELI5 explanation of the pitfalls of the Industrial Revolution I've ever seen. I mean that literally, my five year old loves the book and the movie based on it. This era is my favorite in all of human history, I've read thick tomes about it, and this old children's novel is seriously fantastic.
