 Tony Award-winning actress Phylicia Rashad warmly introduces children to the rich tapestry of world cultures thriving in America today. Each culture is presented in fun and fast-paced educational segments that celebrate the community's values and traditions. Programs include geography and history segments about the culture's original country of origin, kid-hosted tours of neighborhood restaurants, markets and festivals, foreign language segments in which children learn to count to ten and say "hello," "goodbye," "thank you" and "friend," arts and crafts demonstrations, a traditional animated folktale and a traditional folksong performed by a chorus of children and musicians. Teacher's guides are included and are available online. |
"  ...Highly recommended...Vibrant filmmaking, a sparkling soundtrack, and a fast-paced-yet constantly informative-format, make the American Cultures for Children series a genuine winner on both the educational and the entertainment fronts."- Video Librarian"The videos defy stereotypes, rejoicing in the unique aspects of different cultures, while pointing out how much we have in common. The videos would be delightful and useful additions to multicultural collections." -School Library Journal "Actor Phylicia Rashad hosts these lively, nicely styled concoctions of on-location footage, studio shots, stock clips, animation, and graphics. Both informative and pleasingly presented." - Booklist
