This is a really cool book featuring children from countries all over the world and explaining some things about their families, daily life, cultural traditions, and more.

I passed it along because it's very advanced for my toddler, but I liked it so much that I might pick up the 2016 updated version for later. Oh--yep. I just checked the Amazon page for the new version and the kid from the U.S. has the same name as my daughter. Buying.

I don't remember if it actually includes all of the geographical regions I tagged it with, but it came pretty dang close if it didn't. ( )

A fun browsing book that highlights the life of kids from countries around the world.

"Grade 3-6?A delightful, attractive look at children from around the world. The authors spent two years meeting and photographing youngsters from every continent and more than 140 countries. The volume is divided by continent, which is introduced with photos of children, their names, and nationalities. Then a double-page spread features pictures of each child's food, eating utensils, housing, school, friends, and family. The text gives the young people a chance to comment on their favorite games, friends, and hopes for the future. The final section includes excerpts from the Kindersleys' travel diary. This book is factual, respectful, and insightful. It provides just the right balance of information and visual interest for the intended audience.?Joan Soulliere, Wenham Public Library, MA
