I'm going to have to make sure we have the new edition. Working it into a program would allow it to work for a larger audience. I also want to use what the world eats, though it is advanced for them, I thin some of the information and images would really appeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915041119468051754.post-12474469646626975322011-04-11T17:13:48.237-05:002011-04-11T17:13:48.237-05:00Yes, they're great books - I just really feel ...Yes, they're great books - I just really feel they need context.

I think this book has great potential for classroom teaching especially for cross-curricular connections.<br />I'm not familiar with This Child Every Child but will look it up. There are other similar books about the rights of children that fit closely with Alberta's curriculum. This will be useful.<br />Definitely teaching with these books will provide kids with a lot understanding and context than if they read them on their own.<br />Thanks for the recommendations.<br />TammyTammy Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544436792429289090noreply@blogger.com
