Here is what people are saying about the If the World Were a Village: A Book About the World's People
5 Star Rating  "Really speaks to young kids in simple language"2009-11-11
- Reviewed By WeeBeaks from California
Even adults have trouble grasping the enormity of the population of the entire world as a number and attempting to envision how many that really is, then applying abstract and dehumanized percentages of how many people live where and so forth to that original unimaginable number. I had before come across the natural concept of reducing that population number to 100 and then using the percentages as people. So, if the number to imagine was 1%, then 1 person in that 100 would do whatever it was. This book, I feel, does a particularly nice job of presenting this information to children.

It is a larger format, with wonderful illustrations (done by Shelagh Armstrong). The 1st page of the book sets the stage, encouraging us to travel into our mind to the "global village" of 100 people. Then, each 2-page spread in the book covers another topic, including "nationalities," "languages" and so forth, leading up to "the village in the past" and the "village in the future," meaning in this case population growth and issues regarding that. They do, by the way, make a quick note that scientists do disagree with some of the population growth numbers they present.

My son (6 at the time) was really engaged in this book, with wide eyes at the some of the facts presented, though honestly it wasn't new information to him. It really seemed to speak to him in a language he could grasp though, especially the pages on "air and water" (focus on pollution) and "food" (again, focus on how many in our world go hungry each day).
 
5 Star Rating  "Tie in History, Social Studies, Math, Language..."2009-07-22
- Reviewed By AMI Montessori Teacher from Somerville, MA United States
This book is absolutely wonderful to have in the classroom. Just reading it sparked some great discussion, but it really got interesting when we graphed the data using circle graphs. It's already based on 100 so it's easy for the children to figure it out. They really started noticing when they created their own graphs what the numbers really meant. Beautifully illustrated. Highly recommended.
 
5 Star Rating  "Fascinating"2009-06-24
- Reviewed By Lisa Barker
What a fascinating way to play with statistics and bring them down to a child's understanding. This book will open the world up to your child, introducing him/her to different people, languages, and ways of life. A great tool to get your child thinking about his/her own 'statistics,' identity, culture and place in the world.
 
5 Star Rating  "A must have for every elementary classroom"2008-10-15
- Reviewed By Michelle Martin from Northfield, MN
I use this book frequently with my 4th and 5th graders. It concretizes the abstract information critical to developing an understanding of the world we live in. Turning percentages about the world's population into a village of 100 people allows students to place themselves in the global framework. When they see what percentage of the world's people own a car, for example, they realize the very different perspective and experience they have compared to the majority of the "village" inhabitants. We use this book in social studies, in science, for service learning and in mathematics. I highly recommend it for your classroom book shelf.
 
5 Star Rating  "Absolutely Global"2007-12-14
- Reviewed By Mom from massapequa, new york United States
This book should be in every school in the world! As the earth gets smaller, our children need to be taught where they will fit into the world. For them it is not just about where they will fit into thier tiny communiy. Their future will include all the earth's people as their community.
Author, David Smith, provides an in school program designed around his book.
He brings this global book to life for the children. You cannot help but wonder the impact his program and book will have on the future of our children and our world.
 
5 Star Rating  "Great Book for Kids"2007-09-22
- Reviewed By An Amazon User
This book was great for my class. It really helped them to grasp the idea of people living differently then themselves. They are 4 - 6 years old so they did not understand all of it, but they enjoyed the idea of a global village.
