Reviews

The books in the new Kids around the World series introduce countries and their complex cultures through the lives of individual kids. Here, four children in China are the focus: a 10-year-old girl in Beijing; two children in central Gunsu Province; and a Tibetan boy who lives in Lhasa. A page of quick-reference facts opens the title, and passages about history, religion, language, calligraphy, festivals, food, and so on, are woven into the detailed account of each child's day. There are no captions for the photos, and no photos of the children who are profiled, so it's possible that the kids are fictional creations. Had that been made clear, the book would have been a stronger, less-confusing package. In addition, there is no index to support the free-flowing, narrative, nor are there resources for further reading. Still, there are few resources on China for this age group, and children will be engaged by the experiences of their peers as well as the collage artwork and color photographs. Gillian Engberg
