Even in this age of multi-culturalism it's difficult to make children understand about different races and cultures, but this activity book from world music gurus Putumayo makes the learning fun. The book is packed with activities for all the family, and takes you on a whirlwind tour of the world, introducing you to the country's people and cultures. It includes a CD full of sounds from the various countries plus some music, and the book carries full lyrics, with translations. It's a great way to introduce your children to the vast, and different world we live in, and to set them on the path of tolerance and kindness. £17.99 from ethicsgirls.co.uk
