"Explore the geography, traditions, and peoples of 192 different countries--identifying cultural similarities and differences--and ultimately discover that children from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe all draw, smile, and play. In addition to full-color photography and artwork, Children of the world also features fun facts about each country's children--what languages they speak, what foods they like to eat, and what sports they like to play. With these interesting insights into the daily lives of children everywhere, it's like having a penpal in every corner of the world."--from jkt.
