Today there are over 300 million people living in the United States. That's a really big number for a child to try to grasp but if you shrink that number down to 100 people and imagine America as a small village of just those 100 then things start to make sense. How many of those people would be rich and how many would be poor? What religions would they practice? How old are they? Where do these people come from? Do they live in cities or on farms? This is a wonderful companion book to If The World Were a Village that gives children a good feel for the melting pot that is the United States. 32 pages Ages 6-11
