This is the sort of book that will keep your children interested and lead to many questions about other children's lives around the world. Even adults will enjoy reading it and will certainly learn a valuable thing or two. The images speak for themselves and the text is of added value. You can tell each child's "school story" in many different ways, because the individual profiles include a variety of elements, each relevant depending on your child's age and particular school experience so far. My daughter (3,5 years old) enjoys this book very much and it has been a successful birthday present for other children too. On a more formal note, it is a wonderful way to teach the value of education to your child.
