5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Small World After All., January 7, 2002

By	tvtv3 "tvtv3" (Sorento, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This little book talks about bread. There aren't very many words, but the few that there are augment a child's vocabulary, yet are easy to understand. The most important part of this book are the pictures. Using pictures of people all over the world eating all kinds of different bread, helps children to begin to understand the bigger world around them. The book also illustrates how even though some things are the same, they can also be quite different. The book also contains a helpful section at the end for parents and other educators. It's a small world after all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent title for creating cultural awareness, July 11, 2002

By	Amazon shopper (San Antonio, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I agree with the other reviewers that the pictures are wonderful, and the text (though minimal) is good. My 3 YO son really likes this book, and as others have mentioned, it works on several levels. I can see us using this book for several years to come to emphasize the fact that different cultures around the world DO have lots of things in common. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars was because the captions giving you more information about content of the pictures is all collected at the back of the book. So if you want to know whether the picture is from the Philippines or the US, for example, you have to keep flipping back and forth. It seems like there could have been a way to incorporate these endnotes into the text directly without destroying the effectiveness of the book as a charming elementary reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great images for kids and adults, December 6, 2004

By	Romans (Rome, Maine United States) - See all my reviews

We may all live in different places, speak different languages and end up having completely different life experiences, but many of us have a common food. My wife and I love this book as much as our children do. It is very simple, extremely genuine and makes me want to try all the world's bread.
