This book teaches us about the lives of children all around the world. There are children from France, America, Africa, Canada, Poland, Hungary, Greece, and many many more. It talks about each child's home, their family, what they like to do for fun, school, and other aspects of their lives. It shows us that even though we come from different places, we all have likes and dislikes, homes and families. The pictures are very interesting. One child in the book is Omar, from Mexico. Omar is 8 years old. He lives with his Mami and Papi, grandma, and brother. When he grows up he wants to play football and work with computers. His favorite food is a fruit called tuna. He likes to eat it with ice on hot days. He thinks it is very refreshing.
I would recommend this book to all children. It helps to understand differences in culture, which i think is important for children to gain at early ages.
I can't think of any problems this book could cause.
My reaction: I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. I didn't think I would because it is non-fiction, and I generally don't like non-fiction. This book was very well written.
My rating: ****
