Summary:

Children Just Like Me is about what it sounds like... children like me! However, it is not written in the typical paragraph and chapter format. Real pictures were taken from all over the world and children were interviewed for this book to come about. Organized by the continents and then countries, each of these children's lives are told about. A big picture of the child is shown surrounded by many little picture with descriptions. Everything is told about them; what they like, what they do, what they eat, where they go to school, how old they are, traditions in their culture, and much more! Children can be fascinated for hours learning about children from all over the world. They can learn that there are people just like them all over the place!

My Reaction:

I thought this book was very interesting. It was fun to see all of the little kids and their pictures of everything. I loved seeing how they all loved to play and have fun, just like I did when I was a kid. I think kids would love learning about kids just like them from all over the world.

Potential Problems:

I do not think there are any potential problems with this book. It helps kids to learn about different races and cultures and see that there are people like them all over.

Recommendations:

I would recommend this to anybody wanting to learn a little bit more about kids from all over. It would be fun for a research paper for younger students too.
