To Be a Kid (Book)

Ajmera, M., & Ivanko, J. (1999). To be a kid. Watertown, MA: Charlesbridge.

Interest Level: 8 and under
Genre: Non-Fiction
Subjects/Themes: Multicultural; Children in different countries.

Plot: A simple book with one sentence per page that describes an activity that children all over the world take part in.  Each sentence starts with the repetitive “To be a kid means…." The last page in the book talks about each of the activities that was shown in the book such as famililes, school, and friends. 

Personal Thoughts: The simplistic text is great for younger children beginning to read or being read to.  The multiple pictures are full of different kids in action.  Each photo has the country from which it came from listed below.  The pictures are also a great resource for older children doing country or culture reports. 

Other books by the Authors: Let the games begin (non-fiction multicultural sports theme); Come out and play (non-fiction multicultural play theme)
