This book is a remarkable and beautiful book that helps to bring world politics, economics and cultural diversity within the understanding of young people.

I’m going to send out a few official recommendations for this book but actually I could probably recommend it to many, many more people. First off how has this book been in existence since 2002 with an update in 2008 and I didn't know about it?This picture book is still very informative, but it displays the information without overloading readers with long paragraphs. In every way this is a WOW book - the multicultural ideas, representations, the discussions with this book and the ways in which a teacher can utilize the information in the book are endless. I think the book's purpose is two-fold, to create an understanding of the variety of people and situations in the world and to encourage an interest in them and their plight.

Maybe some kind of narrative spine would have been more effective at pulling readers in and exposing them to new worlds.

Aiming to provoke thought and elicit questions, this book explainsfacts about the world's population simply. The 2nd Edition of the best-selling book which has sold over 400 000 copies in 17 languages - updated with new content and insights about the world's people. Thought-provoking and highly effective, this world-in-miniature will open eyes to a wider view of our planet and its human inhabitants.Sometimes, I feel like it is easy for us (and students) to visualize the population of Earth to be very similar to us in reference to these elements if it is all that we are surrounded by.
