Product Description
This is the new paperback edition of a beautiful and unique book, which explains facts about the world's population in a simple and fascinating way. Instead of unimaginable billions, it presents the whole world as a village of just 100 people. We soon find out that 22 speak a Chinese dialect and that 17 cannot read or write. We also discover the people's religions, their education, their standard of living, and much much more...This book provokes thought and elicits questions. It cannot fail to inspire children's interest in world geography, citizenship and different customs and cultures, whether they read it at home or at school.

Worthy conversations ...,
This review is from: If the World Were a Village (Paperback)
My daughter have read this book together on-and-off since she was 4 (she's now nearly 9). Dont be mistake, it's not a story book. It's a book of world facts translated into illustrated pages stating: If the world were a village of 100 people... then this many would be healthy, ill, rich, poor, old, young, literate, homeowners, travelled, etc ... and that means ...We often don't get to the end, and sometimes just open in half way through, because the statements spark questions which lead to rich, worthy conversations. If you want a break from fairytales and an opportunity to ground your children with some broader thinking, I recommend this book. Enjoy! :)

This thought-provoking book stimulated some great debates in my classroom. I also used it as the basis for a very successful class assembly for my Year 5/6 class.

This review is from: If the World Were a Village (Paperback)
This is a great book to help children - and adults - to understand unequal divisions and access to resources on a global scale. I do think, however, that it needs to be updated. I have given this book to many teachers who haven't heard of it. It really does spell it out in a very easy to understand way.
