A little girl serves as narrator and tour guide to her everyday life in India: who she lives with, what the grown-ups do, what they eat for meals, what they learn in school (including a history lesson), what they do after school, and their religion.

A good introduction to what life looks like in other countries - what things are the same and what's different. Readers get a basic sense of the geography, topography, and weather of the country, and a few major cities. Pronunciation help is included. ( )
