Cute book, but misses the point. by Jenney Chendea (Virginia, USA)

September 24, 2009
I was really disappointed in this book, because I was hoping to get the whole series for my 4-year-old. It has just one sentence per page, such as "Lace up your shoes," and while each photo is of a child who appears to be from another culture (some are western, too), there's no information on that page about the picture. In the back, there's a reference, describing each picture with a couple of sentences, ("A girl from Iran wears a hijab...") but my four-year-old doesn't want to wait while I page through to the back, hold the place with my finger, read the description, then flip back to look at the picture... not to mention how it disrupts the flow of the story. I could just read the descriptions all together at the end, but it just doesn't work well. It would have been MUCH better to simply describe the cultures, children, and clothes throughout the book.

This is wonderful collection of books by Gwenyth Swain. These are a must have for any earlychildhood educator or parent of young children. This book shows children from around the world in their different outfits with simple text. In the back of the book there are some great extensions for activities that extend the experience of reading. Check out her others Bedtime! Carrying, Celebrating, Eating, Smiling, Tidy Up!, Wash Up!, and Eating.
