Kindergarten Day USA and China/China and USA



In its "flip me over" format by Trish Marx and Ellen B. Sensisi, Kindergarten Day USA and China (or China and USA...depending on which way you start from) examine the ways in which each classroom, a half a world away are similar and how they are different. The book looks at two kindergarten classes, one in Beijing, China and one in the New York. The book includes great photographs that correspondence with the text. Chinese words for different activities, along with easy pronunciation guides, are provided on the Chinese side of the book. I, of course, had a special interest in this book as we continue to wait for a referral to adopt from China, but I think most children will find this book to be very interesting.
