A family favorite

My 3 1/2 and 6 year old both love this book. As a story book, the stories are as universal as they are rich and evocative, the illustrations are beautiful and compelling for the kids. The pictures of the children themselves are too small for my 46-year-old eyes. If you are interested in showing the lifestyles of children across the world, get "Children Just Like Me," which we also LOVE. In fact, just get them both. They are among the top 20 books in our home library.

Fun book filled with multi-cultural stories

We read this book as a family. We were specifically looking for a book with a mix of tales from different cultures. The children enjoyed the stories and had some interest in the "real-life" connections and discussions made in the sidebars on each page. It was a good read and kept the kids' attention (they are 5 and 7). I liked the multi-culturalism. If the book had more stories we would have kept reading!
