Circling the Globe! Kids Around the World by Dona Herweck Rice

Kids all around the world... are a lot like you!

Charlie in Nunavet, Canada, goes to school by snowmobile. Rosa in Bolivia helps her family take care of their goats in a land of tall, tall mountains.

JoJo in Tanzania lives on a family farm, where his family raises two crops: corn, which he likes, and coffee, which he does NOT!

Li in China lives on a farm, too, a rice farm. He is proud that his country invented paper and uses it at school every day!

Ava in Afghanistan is proud of her father, who is a teacher, her brand new school for girls, and her pretty mountains.

Little Marta in Germany lives in a town with a real castle, and her parents help build cars that people like to drive everywhere.

And kids in the United States get to go to school with kids from all over the world, in Dona Herweck Rice's Teacher Created Materials - TIME For Kids Informational Text: Kids Around the World - Grade 1 - Guided Reading Level I, which shows children in their own homes where they live in families in many different places on the planet and go to school in different ways. Double-page spreads with color photos show young children with their homes, animals, houses, and landscapes, with brief text just right for emergent readers. Easy vocabulary and very different scenes give this beginning reader book high interest along with its primary text.
