Where do I begin?! This book is full of stereotyping and micro-aggressions. If you really care about what kind of stereotypes you are imposing on your child, then beware of this book.1- There's no black people in North America?!!! and of course the native americans are still wearing feathers.2- Arabs all look like people from the gulf area... No respect to actual traditional costumes, which in our modern times are pants and a shirt.3- Of course Africans are still roaming the savannah's half naked.4- The only black people in south America are cubans?!! confusing?I understand you are celebrating "traditions" but careful how you do it.
I love the concept of this book, but it really is just for browsing. I don't think the specific items about each continent are enough for any real knowledge. Good overview of continents, but won't drill down into any specific country.
Nice book with lots of information presented mostly visually, my child loves this book and learns new things from it. The maps are also good enough, the quality is perfect except the small brochures glued to the pages containing extra info. Illustrations are the main point of this book, perfectly done.
This is a cute book that my kept my son enjoyed and interested in the topic. The graphics were eye-catching and he loved looking at the fold-out pages.That being said, beware of typos. I caught several ("teppes" for "steppes," for example). It's not a huge deal, but for children learning how to read, the typos cause confusion. Sloppy.
This is a beautiful book for getting kids interested in geography, and learning what some of the regions are well known for (foods, wildlife, culture).
