Summary: This book is about children all over the world.  It goes through and on every page it gives details of the child’s life that it is focusing on.  It talks about the age of the child and where exactly they live.  It talks about the family and the things that they do for careers in such.  It also talks about the child’s living arrangements as well as what they like to do, their favorite toy, and they favorite food—things like that.  It covers children from all sorts of different places, from Africa, to Europe, to the U.S. and everywhere in between.  It’s a great book for children to learn about different areas and different cultures.  There are also very nice pictures of the children and their family and the other things that it talks about.  Overall just a wonderful book for children (and adults) to learn from.

My Reaction to the Book:  I think that this is probably the best reference book that I have seen for children.  It gives a lot of information but at the same time it is very fun and interesting.  It’s a great book for children to sit down and look through and learn that they really aren’t that much different from other children around the World. 

Potential Problems:  I do not see any problems with this book—it is just packed with great information. 

Recommendations:  I think I would definitely recommend this book to anyone because it is a great learning tool for children plus it’s just a lot of fun.
