"Grade 3-6?A delightful, attractive look at children from around the world. The authors spent two years meeting and photographing youngsters from every continent and more than 140 countries. The volume is divided by continent, which is introduced with photos of children, their names, and nationalities. Then a double-page spread features pictures of each child's food, eating utensils, housing, school, friends, and family. The text gives the young people a chance to comment on their favorite games, friends, and hopes for the future. The final section includes excerpts from the Kindersleys' travel diary. This book is factual, respectful, and insightful. It provides just the right balance of information and visual interest for the intended audience.?Joan Soulliere, Wenham Public Library, MA

A Unique celebration of children around the world.

Introduction via children that participate in various festivals around the world to different cultures

My kid finds all these other children a bit overwhelming I think--it doesn't help that each page is divided up into a series of little blurbs; it would have been better to have a main writeup on each child and their country/family/hobbies/whatever--but the way these children naturally inhabit their different lives and the way the book celebrates that makes me think how much we've lost (since the nineties when this book came out, that is, since the open world), how fast, in terms of our way of celebrating cultural diversity--I feel like the book is essentializing and exoticizing even as I know it's not. I really like it though.

This is a colorful picture book that contains several short stories from around the world while highlighting it's children. The multicultural informational book contains pictures, facts, maps, and artifacts from different countries. It includes Brazil, Mexico, Canada, France, Finland, Botswana, Morocco, India, Mongolia, and New Zealand. It is a fabulous way to learn about different cultures through the eyes of a child.

Heartbreakingly beautiful smiling children. None from Sudan, Afghanistan or Iraq, and several from the USA, but on the whole 'balanced'. Just a nice honest reflection of how children around the world really do live in their own cultures.

Barnabas and Anabel Kindersley, creators of the acclaimed Children Just Like Me, meet with children around the world as they celebrate 25 of their favorite holidays and traditions. With stunning photographs and illustrations, readers meet each child and learn the significance of the chosen celebration. Full color.

this book show us in beautiful colors the different celebration of festival and culture and how diverse our world can be. it teaches the children to have knowledge of other cultures and celebrations that are as important to them as christmas is to us.

This book is loaded with information about holidays around the world. Many different cultures are included as well as many pictures related to each holiday. The book can feel a little cramped, but it does include a plethora of interesting information. Since it is so heavy in content, I would recommend this book to be used as reference material for older elementary students. It would also be a great book to keep in the classroom library for casual perusing.½

Summary:
This children's book "Children Just Like Me: Celebrations!" is about children all over the world who are from all different countries and their stories on how they celebrate their celebrations.

Review:
I find these types of books so interesting and fun to read. I used to love reading these children's books. The size of the books makes read them even more fun to read. I think all children need to learn about other cultures and how different people celebrate different holidays and celebrations in many different ways. I also think it is neat that the stories of the different celebrations are from real children in other parts of the world.

The author of this book selected children from all over the world to explain where they are from and why it is special. This book needs to be in the classroom year round so the students can learn about children from around the world. It is important for children to understand that all children are alike, but also a little different. A being different is a great thing!

The authors of this book traveled the world attending celebrations all over the world. They put real children in their book along with quotes about what they like most about their celebration. This is an important book to have in your classroom all year round. You could teach about different festivals throughout the year when it is appropriate. If not, then the book should be in the classroom library year round for children to read as they please.

A book filled with photos and information on children of every continent. It was based on the interviews from children all around the world. Very interesting and informational.

Most of the kids are wearing common clothes in their countries, not traditional garb

Really inclusive and beautiful. Most of the kids are wearing common clothes in their countries, not traditional garb. (I usually hate that because then they just put American children in street clothes implying that they kids in Japan wear kimonos.)

I really enjoy flipping through this book. It was a fun, easy read, with lots of pictures and facts. It is a good book for children who might get bored with chapter books without the pictures. It is very informative, and lets children see other children they might never learn about. The pictures and blurbs about the children are a great insight to different cultures, family life, and interests.

This is such a great book. Each two page spread highlights a child from a different country, with pictures of the child's home, family, toys, and school, along with responses to interview type questions about his or her life. The book is appealing to children, but it is also a great tool for helping children gain a wider understanding about the world around them.
