Gr 2–4—This series describes various aspects of modern life around the world. Titles have roughly four chapters with slightly longer paragraphs that have vocabulary words in bold and corresponding photographs, both full pages and collaged, that are captioned. From the eating habits at lunch, extracurricular activities, family pets, and education, the series allows readers to compare and contrast life in another country. Final sections of each title include an, "If you lived here…" infographic and "A closer look," along with a glossary and index at the end. VERDICT A solid introduction for elementary school readers to everyday life around the world.
