Summary: All the World follows through a day from morning to night. This book appreciates the small and the big things of life. The rhythmic text flows eloquently page to page."Road, street, track, path. Ship Boat, Wooden Raft," writes Liz Garton Scanlon. The author uses a technique of beginning with words as simple as "body' and "shoulder" and can relate it to the big picture of building a moat on a beach. All the World represents the whole world
Illustrations in the book were very powerful and all encompassing of the pages. From the tree to the corn field, to the puddles of water, Frazee paints a bright and beautiful picture of what the world is. With simple characters, the illustrations are bright and inviting to any reader.
All the World would be a great read-aloud with the students on Earth day, April 22. Students can study the importance of environmental protection and celebrate the tiny and big things of this world.
