Clothes Around the World Moira Butterfield

Young explorers learn about the different clothes children wear in countries around the world. Clothes worn for festivals like Carnival and national costumes from countries including China and Scotland are presented. Clothing worn because of the regular weather conditions of a culture are highlighted with chapters on clothes for snow, sun, and rain forests. Dancing clothes of Ireland, Native America, and Spain are brightly presented. Special shoes, hats, jewelry, other clothing items, and clothes specifically worn for work in certain cultures are explained. This book ends with the Art Station section, which provides activities for readers to use the information they just learned for fun.
