Gr 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

August 23, 2006: This was my ABSULUTE favorite book as a little kid. I was always interested in different cultures and I loved this book! I would flip throught the pages and think 'Ooh, I want to be just like her,' refering to the pretty dresses and jewelry. I reccomend it to EVERY kid 5 and up. Wonderful book!
