Reviews

Booklist

“With a clear, full-color photo and a short caption on each page, this small, square title shows how people across the globe use land, animals, and plants to grow food, make clothes, keep warm, and have fun. . . this is an excellent starting point for discussion with young readers at home and in the classroom. An illustrated glossary concludes.”
