This book is a book we all like to look through -- from our 2-year-old all the way up to my husband and I! I love the layout, colorful images, and fun Disney characters studded throughout. Great addition to our bookshelf!
We love this book!

Our World was clearly written for the elementary-school set, but my preschool aged daughter loves it! The photographs of children, famous places, and daily life around the world are beautiful. The book is divided into continents, with several countries from each continent further explored. Topics covered include food, maps, schools, favorite past-times, pets, and simple (political) maps of the continents. I find the sprinkling of Disney characters throughout the book to be distracting and sometimes confusing, but it doesn't seem to bother my daughter. I would say this book is well worth the money!
Great Geography/Culture Resource

With its stunning photography and colorful layout, this book is sure to capture your child's imagination. Far from being a boring book of facts, it teaches about distant lands from the child's perspective. Included are native games, foods, religion, typical school subjects, & more. Unfortunately, like most books of this nature, the book has an obvious P.C. slant. There are large sections dedicated to how humans are destroying the world. Careful planning was also utilized to ensure that every ethnic background was given equal footing, regardless of their actual contribution to society. With a little editing and explanation, this can be a wonderful tool for sparking the interest in your children for other cultures.
