The Oxford First Book of Children of the World

The "Oxford First Book of Children of the World" celebrates the amazing diversity of life around the world, through the stories of children.

From life on a remote Australian sheep farm to work in a busy Indian market, children from different parts of the world talk about their lives - homes and families, school and play, celebrations, beliefs, and their hopes for the future.

It features: lively, engaging text, with personal accounts from children around the world; stunning photos of people and places; fun, easy-to-do activities for many of the topics; and wide-ranging coverage of human geography for young children.

Rebecca Treays has written for children on a wide range of subjects.

Her book "Understanding Your Muscles and Bones" was short-listed for the Rhone-Poulenc Junior Science Prize.
