I really enjoyed reading through this book. I think it showed a very accurate understandable description of children all around the world. It made the children and their homeland very real. I liked how the children were depicted as happy no matter what their financial or other situations may be.

I could not find any potential problems for this book.
Recommended to...
I would recommend this to all children in the appropriate age group. This would be a great tool to use to teach children about other countries and the people that live there. I would recommend this to a student that would do a report on a country or group of people.
