Summary: As the title suggests this is an alphabetical guide of countries and all the different types of children and people there are around the world. The main countries they use are Australia, Brazil, China, The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Japan, Kenya, Lithuania, Mexico, Nigeria, Oman, The Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Senegal, Turkey, The United States of America, Vietnam, West Samoa, Xanadu (a country that children have made up), Yemen, and Zimbabwe. Each country has a description and talks about the pictures of the children on that page.
Problems: I don't think there are any problems with this book. I thought they handled it very nicely.
Reaction: I thought it was a very good book to see all the different kinds of children all over the world and their different cultures. I also like that it was in alphabetical order and it also gives other countries by that letter.
Recommendation: I think this would be good in a classroom when teaching about different countries around the world and help kids know that there are children all over the world just like them. I think you could also read like one country a day or something in the classroom.
