Families Around the World

K-3
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.
