Take a journey around the world to discover the schools of children just like you!

Where in the world do children walk along a narrow mountain path to get to school?
Where do children learn outside to keep cool, and where do they learn inside with a cosy fire?
What do children eat for lunch and what games do they play at break time?
Find out in Schools Around the World!

Children will love reading about the school days of their contemporaries in other countries; from the City Montessori school in India with 47,000 pupils, to the children who study long-distance with Australia's School of the Air - they'll be amazed by the places children learn in around the world.

Our world is full of amazing and different things. The Children Like Us series introduces children to people and places around the world. It shows them how different cultures live in unique ways and enables them to compare other people's lives with their own.

Inclues Art Station activities where readers are encouraged to use their new knowledge creatively!
