We Come From series.
Focusing on three different children, these slight overviews introduce basic facts about the land, food, education, work, and other aspects of life in the three countries. The brief texts, printed in a large, easy-to-read typeface, are accompanied by a map and plenty of color photographs. Instructions for a country-related activity and a "fact file" page are appended to each volume. Bib., glos., ind.

Families Around the World series.
These two books feature a "typical" family posed in front of their house with all their worldly possessions. This unabashedly materialistic approach to portraying unfamiliar cultures has the advantage of making "them" seem more like "us." Though predictable, the text and photos are serviceable and do convey a sense of these families' daily lives. Bib., glos., ind.
