9781416985808All the World (Simon & Schuster, grades Kindergarten – 2) is a big square picture book with big double page pictures and short, rhyming prose by author Liz Garton Scanlon. It’s about our world and all the things in it – us, our families, the food we eat, our land, the sky, our weather and much more. The text sends the youngest of readers an uncomplicated, but important message about the basics of our earth and our lives, while the illustrations take you right to where the author wants you go.

This is the kind of book you keep on the shelf for years, read over and over again and savor the illustrations to capture what you missed the time before.

“All the world is here. It is there. It is everywhere. All the world is right where you are. Now.”
