Material World is a portrait of life in thirty different countries. Families are pictured with all their possessions. Pictures can be enjoyed by all ages, but the written material is more for grade 3 and up.
I really love this book. My kids are young and this book isn't the best fit for them yet, but they can still enjoy the pictures. I use it as one of our spines for our study of countries around the world. I wish it covered every country. It makes a great coffee table book too!
