![]() ![]() ![]() There are two eskimo children given two whole pages from the US and Canada (no other children from Canada- apparently they are all Inuit), where other countries with proportionately way more children like China do not get that much coverage. On the Americas page there is an entire line up of children, 24 in all, and only two caucasian kids in the whole line-up, which is a little odd. ![]() 6-7 show sample kids from several countries, some with typical appearances and names for their country like Yannis from Greece, Guo Shuang from China etc, but the US shows five children: two which appear hispanic (Nicole and Carlos), one eskimo, one unusual-looking chunky caucasian girl and one African American male with a seriously outdated hairdo and parachute pants. The example children from the United States reveals this. But my chief complaint is that the buyer understand as I did not- this is not an atlas-accurate depiction of children by percent population in each country it is actually more a compilation of minority cultures. Many of the pictures are in fact outdated now. Something I did not note before purchase was the publishing date of 1995. ![]() I bought this book recently to supplement my primary schooler's global cultures education. ![]()
