A Country Far Away

Told in the first person by two young boys, this story relates their identical experiences ... with very different results. The text appears in the middle of the page, and two sets of pictures, above and below, show the same actions in two very different cultures: a small African village and a modern suburban setting... The format makes this an interesting picture book... Children will enjoy finding the similarities and differences for themselves. — School Library Journal.
