Description
Color photos introduce readers to a wide variety of world cultures in this engaging resource from DK. It’s like taking a trip around the world! The text captions are brief and seem to be written at about a 4th grade reading level. Includes page after page of interesting information to add to your social studies, geography, language, and literature units! Cultures are grouped geographically, which makes sense. You see people of all ages doing daily tasks, commonly dressed in traditional costumes. Open any page and learn something new! Includes 297 pages with an index in the back. Because this book shows the different cultures of the world, it does include some partial nudity when featuring places around the world where traditional clothes are not common. ~Sara
