This book was recommended in Harvey and Goudvis's book "Strategies That Work". What a beautiful book! It is so powerful in presenting these statements, yet the use of Muppet characters does not present a grotesque picture for young children. I've never seen a book impact students' thinking of the world in the way that this book does. Could great reviews like the ones published on your site possibly encourage the initial publisher to re-print this book once again? I believe every classroom teacher and parent should have a copy of this book as we continue to become a more global society.

I purchased this book for my daughter when she was 3. It has become a favorite. She has taken it to school for Show-n-Tell. Her teacher read it to the class and I was told it brought tears to many of the children. Each time I sit down with my daughter to read it, she has so many questions about it. What a shame that this book has gone out of print. What a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about others who are less fortunate. Our copy will be a forever treasure indeed.

I was so disappointed to find out this book was out of print. It is a book every parent and every teacher should share with their children. In fact - many adults should keep one on their coffee table - a great conversation piece... an inspiration to realize and treasure what we have in life and realize that so, so many people do not have these basic necessities!! (I heard rumor that they were going to reissue this book. If they do - I'll buy a stock for gifts!!!)

A terribly interesting book for anyone interested in well-written and throroughly researched biographies written on four people-Louise Weiss, Leo Szilard, E.P. Thompson and Danilo Dolci-whose ideas for peace in the post World War II world have altered the way we think about today.

There needs to be a good book written about accessing the world by the physically handicapped, unfortunately this one is not very current. While it has a lot of information, most of it is so general it is of little use. If you are an adult who became handicapped yesterday and have never travelled anywhere, you may pick up a tidbit or two. Otherwise, don't bother.
