Children Just Like Me
"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." One of the reasons I love this book is that the wonderful photographs of the children grab my kids attention. If we talk about China, they remember the photo of the girl from China in this book and they have a "learning hook" to build on. It also is a great tool to use when discussing diversity, religions or poverty. Use this along with a world map or globe and you will have a very rich learning experience!
