Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreS\u2013If only living together in peace were as simple as the vision offered in this book. Romanticized illustrations of people around the globe accompany a rhymed text to deliver the message: \"We share one world.\" In each spread, a boy interacts with children from another country. An inset map in the corner shows the nation's location in a larger context. The idealized paintings feature stereotypical portrayals. For example, the Japanese mother and daughter wear kimonos while the brother flies a kite. In the Canadian forest vista, a bear, wolf, rabbit, raccoon, and squirrel pose calmly while a boy and girl play nearby. At the end, all of the children gather together while doves fly above. More concrete and interesting views of life around the world are apparent in Ann Morris's photo-essays, such as Families (HarperCollins, 2000), or in Barnabas and Anabel Kindersley's Children Just Like Me (DK, 1995).\u2013Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato Copyright \u00a9 Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
