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
