great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
My daughter loved this book starting at age 1 1/2. The simple text and colorful photos really pulled her in, and we read it again and again. Her 3-year old sister was interested too, although not as much so. I like this book because of the international, multi-cultural images, which are not abundant in children's literature.
How do other children get from here to there around the world
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is just a really simple book showing how children travel around the world. Each page has 1 photo and 1 or 2 sentences so it's perfect for begining readers. There is a index in the back of the book that tells where each photo was taken and then on the last page a map showing where each photo was taken. This is a really nice book that can show your child how people in other countries travel about and how we might look different, but we do some of the very same things. And also opens up a chance to discuss how people in different cultures live and how it might be the same or different. Here's a list of the places and photos in this book Boats - from Peru, Hong Kong, Somalia, Australia & the US Bicycles - India, Nigeria Walking/ Carrying - Ghana, Hong Kong, Bali, India, Germany Buses- Germany, Egypt, Trains - Germany, Denmark, Monorail - US Planes, Germany, US & Space Shuttle
