Go on a trip around the globe and visit the marketplace With gorgeous watercolor paintings, Ted Lewin's Market is a beautiful and child-friendly look at diverse cultures around the world. From the highlands of the Andes to the steamy jungles of central Africa, from the fabled souks of Morocco to the tough New York waterfront, people come to the market. They come barefoot and bent with backbreaking loads, they come on jungle trials and roads jammed with traffic. They even come by canoe They come any way they can to sell, to catch, to make, and to buy.
Ted Lewin's Market is a masterpiece! The illustraitions draw the reader in and pique the reader's interest...this book makes you want to travel with Mr. Lewin and be a part of the adventure. The illustraitions are bright and vivid. As a third grade teacher I utilize this book and many of his other titles in social studies lessons. The children gravitate to this book because it captures their interest:they learn that although we may have our differences, we also have much in common, too.
