Children all around the world go to school. But the schools are often very different: some are very small, others very large; some have playing fields while others a simple yard; some have many students in a class, and others just a few. This book, perfect to share with a young child, has large clear photographs of different schools from all around the world. It includes a map of the world indicating the countries the photographs come from. Published in association with Oxfam this series aims to draw parallels between children from many different cultures.
