This review is from: All Kinds: Race and Colour (Who Cares?) (Who Cares about) (Hardcover)

This book deals with the complex issue of race, it starts off quite negatively pointing out the differences between people of different races using words such as 'mongoloid' and 'negroid'. The book however as it progress' does become more positive although this does not completely cancel out the negative aspects.Still quite a good book for educating younger children though.
