Children of the World
by Nicola Edwards
All around the world, children in different countries have vastly different homes, languages, schools, games, and cuisine. This book explores amazing details about beautiful cultures across the globe, and how children live their everyday lives in such different ways. There are also chapters about food, kitchens, bedrooms, weather, pets, manners, celebrations, and superstitions.
I loved the design of this book! Every page has adorable illustrations of cute kids from all nationalities. The artwork is colorful, and you really get a feel for the scenery around the world.
The chapters are well organized to give you a lot of information very quickly. It really sparks your interest! The information is broken up into small bits, usually just one sentence for each little factoid. It’s easy to read and keeps your attention as you learn about dozens of different cultures.
I especially enjoyed reading a few facts about Mexico, where I grew up. It was fun to see my adopted Hispanic culture featured in some of the chapters.

Hide and Seek History: Ancient Egyptians
by Jonny Marx, Chaaya Prabhat (Illustrator)
This book is full of cool facts about Ancient Egypt! The first section talks about archeology and how ancient tombs and artifacts have been discovered. You have to lift the flaps to look underground, into the maps, or within the archeologist’s tent.
There are also sections all about the pyramids, mummies, the Nile, the daily life, and the religious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. I didn’t really care about the list of their all gods and goddesses, but I enjoyed all the other sections very much.
The artwork is really bright and colorful, and I loved the lift-the-flap designs of this book. Sometimes you lift a flap and see another flap underneath! It’s like a mystery within another mystery, and it’s so much fun to discover each new thing.
