____________________________
"A fascinating overview that also encourages a look into the culture of various countries, with a huge variety of clothes included and it inevitably leads to questions about why people dress as they do, encouraging children to delve further. The detailed illustrations show detail of the areas as well as the clothes, giving a good cultural insight."
