comparing cultures through number and word activities, stories, songs, games,
and crafts. Cross-curricular activities explore math, creativity, and language
arts. Special features include the ability for students to look up and hear
words in Japanese, Swahili, Spanish, and English and an early introduction to
the sounds and rhythms of foreign speech.
