Question:

I am looking for the name of a National Geographic Book that shows pictures of different families worldwide.?

I am a teacher and this would be a great help for me in my teaching of 7th grade geograghy. Thanks for your help!!!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I don't know about that particular book -- I searched a bit but couldn't find it.

Another book I know of which would be really neat for 7th graders is Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter Menzel. It's tons of photos from 24 countries around the world, where each family shows what they eat in a week. The photos are very nice, and there is a real variety of countries in there. It could be of use if you want to talk about the difference between mostly-industrialised and still agricultural countries!

You can go check out some of the photos on the photographer's website:

Here's an article on NPR with a few samples

Happy teaching!
