Kids are kids no matter where they live...

Such a refreshing outlook on children around the world! My 4 years old daughter and I love browsing and looking at the photos and learning interesting facts about kids in other countries. Like in China kids right on the trains just like we did in our trip to Europe, that in India kids hug and "save" the trees by playing Chipko (we started doing that to our trees at home!), in Kenya boys build their own wooden bicycles and in Senegal girls wear beautiful dresses. Of course our favorite country page is Xanadu, where anything is possible and all dreams come true! This book is great for young and first reader children, the pictures say 1000 words...Elementary age children will also enjoy learning cool stats like favorite sports, games and the number of kids each country has. All in all this is an international treasure every family should have!
GREAT book!

We purchased this book as a gift for a 6-year old child and found it to be a great gift. The information included in the book is perfect for young children and is a great tool for learning about different cultures. The combination of pictures, maps and text is very well done. We plan to purchase this book again for future gifts!

Excellent book. The only thing is about Brazil. I lived in Brazil and only the super rich speak English and even some of the wealthy do not. If you go to Brazil, expect to hear Portuguese.

I use this book in my grade 4 classroom. The pictures and writing help my United State's students better understand the world around them. This book is a favorite in my classroom.

Stunning photographs, concise maps, and simple text that introduces the basics of a culture, a country, and a way of life make this book great "back seat" reading. Kids shouldn't be watching tv in the car anyway. Books like this will make the ride more enjoyable and enriching. It also would be a great addition to a pediatrician's waiting room, or a dentist.
