Book Reviews of Children Around the World
Book Review: Nice introduction to how other children in the world live.
Summary: 5 Stars
A colorful and informative book for youngsters that points out the many similarities shared by children living around the world. Children may look differently and speak in one or more foreign languages but children everywhere, rich or poor, are loved by their families. In short and simple sentences each of the book's featured children relates something about their country, their family and home, their religion, school, food and customs ... and their favorite thing be it a favorite pet or sport. It's sort of the information they might share with a pen pal.
You can easily come up with ways to expand upon the material found in the book ....
As you and your child read the book it might be fun if the whole family were to take part, perhaps setting aside one night a week or a couple of times s month when you or your spouse cooks a special ethnic dish and family members (or at least the children) each wear a piece of clothing similar to that of the child/family currently being studied. Perhaps everyone could learn a couple of phrases such as 'Good Morning, Good Night, How Are You, and Thank You'. And maybe an older sibling could do some additional research on the internet ... and find an interesting fact to share, for example: "And did you know little Sis that every little girl in that country is given a blue toy on her sixth birthday?" And then your older son or daughter could hand your little girl a blue toy pig even though it isn't her birthday.
Summary of Children Around the World
No matter where they live, children are always curious about the world. But nothing proves more fascinating to them than other children. Exploring the themes of commonality and diversity, this informational picture book introduces young readers to 12 children from around the world. Speaking in the first person, the children briefly describe such things as the language, food, clothing, schooling and daily life of their region. One of the most appealing aspects of this book is the artwork, which features the use of fabric, paper, mesh, string and felt in multimedia collage. Through the use of colors and textures, each child emerges with a distinctive and endearing personality.Biographies Books
