Average Rating: 
Rating: - Excellent Back to School Book
The kids in my second grade class loved this book! We used it to talk about geography and used a globe to find the different countries mentioned in the book.
Rating:  - Compare Cultures
I used this book during the first week of school with my sixth grade World Geopgraphy class. The stories gave my students a great peek at the lives of children around the world and led them to compare how school and life are the same (and different) for children everywhere.
I think the book would be appropriate for children throughout the elementary and intermediate years.
Rating: - A Wonderful Read!
What a wonderful and warm way to show the amazing similarities and differences among children around the world! A charming book and one that will endure. The author captures the excitement of children returning to school in a lovely way.
Rating: - Fabulous Idea!!
This is a fabulous book for expanding children's curiosity and knowledge of other cultures. Every child can relate to the challenge and excitement of the first day of school. Children from Peru, India, Australia, China, Japan and many other countries tell what a typical day of school is like. Each child who speaks has a unique personality. A great resource for teachers, parents, and children.
