Glass, Calliope. Disney It's a Small World I Love School! New York: Disney Press, 2012.
This multicultural picture book gives a tour of school days around the world. It stops off in the U.S., China, Italy, and South Africa. It gives a little insight into modes of transportation, classes, games, sports, field trips, and foods that kids in each of these countries experience on an average school day. I have another book in my classroom that is similar to this and my students find it fascinating. They love to see the pictures and hear phrases, etc. from different countries. I think it also amazes them to learn that a lot of kids their age lead similar lives even if they live half way around the world.
