About this title

Synopsis

In a rhyming story, children learn to cooperate and get along with each other despite their ethnic and cultural differences.

Reviews

K-Gr 2-The theme of this moralistic offering is that people joining together will make the world a better place. The bright cartoons include children of many ethnic origins working, playing, and cooperating with one another in many ways. The rhyming text describes the hope for an idyllic world in which everyone is caring and no one loses: "We wouldn't ever have to prove,/By race or time or test,/Who's stronger, faster, smarter,/Bigger or the best." It may be a book that facilitates discussion about inclusiveness and cooperation, but the huge and nebulous concepts about saving the world could seem bewildering-a large leap for children who are concerned with getting through a day in their own important lives.-Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME
