This is a well-written book with lovely illustrations that is a great introduction for kids to offer cultures, and is a delight for parents to read to them. You'll want to let them know things have changed in a hundred years, but it's still really worthwhile. Our favorite part was the folk tales, which my son loved to narrate.

A little dated, but overall a nice book about children from many different countries. The tone was respectful of differences and my kids really enjoyed learning about the children.
