Great books for children



Three great books to teach children about how people all around the world live. Children only know what they see and what they are told. It is so easy to see how they would think that everyone is just like them. Morgan and Jaden love these books! They are packed with information, so they are not books that you read through in a 30 minute reading session. Every time we pick up one of the books, we see something new.

We LOVE DK books. When they sold through distributors I had a party once and got $400 in free books! We have that Children Just Like Me as well as Celebrations DK one that talks about celebrations all over the world.

One that's great for the whole family that I REALLY loved and that also fascinated Emma is Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. My mom got it for a gift and for a year every time we went over there Emma and I had to look at it!
