Review\n"This was a fun book that allowed us to take a peek into the life of an Australian child and I look forward to reading more of these books." - Homeschool Review Crew "The author also maintains just the right amount of information to pique readers' interest without overwhelming with jargon or too much detail. For example, instead of using the term Aborigines, Roman simply explains that "Australia was isolated from the rest of the world, so as a result the native culture remained rich and unchanged until Europeans arrived." - Amanda McCorquodale, Foreword Reviews, Five Star Clarion Review "... this book will help kids see the similarities and differences between their own lives and those of their peers around the world." - Kirkus Review "In easy language suitable for children ages 4-8, Roman teaches that Australia is not only a country but a continent, too... The illustrator has done a nice job with the artwork." - Bianca Schulze, The Children's Book Review "Another great thing about this book is that the key words have pronunciations behind them so that you will be able to say the word and understand what you are reading and a glossary in the back. The pictures are done in a way that will draw children to the book and keep them reading. It is very colorful." - Allergy Kid Mom's Book Reviews, blog "This exciting visit to Greece also introduces the important concept of democracy to children and highlights some of the other cultural contributions that Greece has made to Western civilization. Basic information is offered in a playful way that won't overwhelm children." - Renee, Mother Daughter Book Reviews, blog "This series takes the complexity of a foreign culture and makes it accessible to even very young children in a delightful way. ... These books are a terrific addition to any home library, would be great to build a geography or cultural understanding unit study around, a good introduction to anyone visiting any of these countries or simply for the geographically curious." - Lisa M. Nehring, Golden Grasses "The author presents interesting information about Australia in a creative way. ... There are lots of large, colorful pictures, and the topics included would be of interest to the targeted ages." - Becky, bookreadingtic.com, blog "...this series is a great way to teach young children about different cultures around the world. The illustrations are sweet and the topics are things that children can easily relate to. We enjoyed reading and learning about Australia in this book." - Lisa T, The Happy Homeschool Mom, blog "Throughout the book the author show you how the Aussies would say things and there meaning which I think is fantastic and helps the child understand a little about language and although they speak English like we do there are some variations to the meaning and saying." - Lisa Lambert with Jack, What's Good To Do?, UK "Among the topics that are introduced in this journey to Australia are the unusual indigenous animals, the extraordinary Great Barrier Reef, the currency, the beloved game of cricket and the national holiday, Australia Day, as well as the special nicknames people have for one another and the curious taste sensation, Vegemite." - Michelle deGuzman, For Life After, blog "I really liked that the Australian words that are foreign to them were sounded out for them. This is especially helpful for young readers AND yes, for mommies on some words too!... I have to admit If you Were Me and Lived in Australia was probably just as educational for me as it was for them and there is nothing more fun than learning together!" - Lindsey, theiemommy.com, blog\n"The book is well organized by topics of interest to children. Schools, libraries, and homes will want to stock this book, as well as the other books in the series." Reviewed by Barbara Fanson for Readers' Favorite\nFormer social studies teacher Carole P.

Review\n"China is very large with different climates and the food is different depending on the region. I love that Ms Roman addressed that by talking about a dish or two from each major region. I recognized the dishes and the style from Mandarin to Cantonese as well as Szechuan and Shanghai. I love how she wove those all in using family." - circlingthroughthislife.com/2018/03/introducing-children-to-culture-around.html, blog "The book does a great job of teaching kids about the country in a way that kids understand and will love. There's also a pronunciation guide at the end of the book that helps kids learn how to pronounce words." - Little Blog in the Country "This is an essential entry in the series, and a valuable window into China for young readers...Carole P. Roman's formula for explaining the basics of other cultures around the world proves successful once again, as she focuses on the populous and still somewhat mysterious country of China in her picture book...The book's range of information, the simplicity and appeal of its presentation, and Roman's unique ability to help small children imagine life in a different part of the world combine to make If You Were Me and Lived In...China an essential entry in the series, and a valuable window into a major culture." - Peter Dabbene, Foreword Review\n"Young readers can use the picture book to travel to China and learn about everyday life and culture from the point of view of a child who lives there...This winning overview of Chinese life offers kids a good introduction to life in another country." - Kirkus Review "The IF YOU WERE ME AND LIVED IN... picture book series is a great choice for any child that has ever wondered what it is like to live in another country.

This is the opening line of this book and I loved how inviting it is. What an ingenious way to teach children about China. I found myself learning new things I didn't know about China (names, food, history, holidays) and the illustrations transported me there. My favorite part was the pronunciation guide at the back of the book." - N. N. Light, princessofthelight.wordpress.com, blog "This is such an amazing way to explore with your children. Your child will learn about the culture and the weather. They'll learn a few words of the language and see how very similar people all over the world are. It broadens their thinking in a very natural way. Books that teach and are fun make children want to learn more. I love this series." - Melanie Adkins, Have You Heard Book Reviews\n"I really like this, If You Were Me and Lived in..., series. I think it is the most created line of books that were ever created for children. To have them be able to "travel" from country to country through a book is an awesome way for them to learn. These books are packed with a lot of information." - allergykidmom.blogspot.com, blog ""If You Were Me and Lived in...China" by Carole P. Roman is a great book that will teach you some much in a very easy and fun way. I love this book and each and every one in this series.
