If the world were a village
With 6 billion people on the planet it's hard to get a perspective on the way we live, so this innovative book looks at the world as though it is a village of 100 people. The percentage distribution stays the same for nationality, languages, age, religion, food, schooling, literacy, money, and resources. Pupils will discover that 22 people in the village speak a Chinese dialect, 50 are often hungry and only 24 have televisions. Beautifully illustrated, this is a simple yet fascinating way to inspire children to take an interest in geography and citizenship.
