K-Gr 2—These uninspired offerings introduce readers to basic aspects of daily life around the globe. Books open with an "Everywhere" introduction and close with a question about readers' clothes, home, ands so on. Word counts average slightly over 100, and most pages have a single sentence paired with a large color photo. The format doesn't vary, with the image at the top of each page and text at the bottom. A world map identifies some of the photo locations, and a "Picture Glossary" provides illustrated definitions. Many of the sentences are unimaginative ("Some homes are big"). Some of the photos depict children in interesting situations, but others are simply nonspecific scenes of cities, homes, or schoolyards. These selections are unlikely to draw many browsers or hold reader interest.
