If America Were a Village, a Book About the People of the United States

This is the same format and author of “If the World Were a Village”.  In this book the author condensed the world population to just 100 and gave us statistics based on numbers that are more fathomable than the billions and millions.  In this book, the same effect is achieved, but this time using statistics based on people living in the United States.  For example: for every 100 people living in the U.S., 75 are white, 12 are black, 4 are Asian, and 1 is Native American.  Remaining 8 consider themselves mixed or different race.  This large sized book with bright acrylic style illustrations would make for an interesting book to share with students. The facts and statistics are interesting enough to hold any adult’s attention as well.  I recommend this book for the elementary library and even the middle school library.
