Learning about other countries and cultures not only helps young children understand the wider world, it can also enable them get to grips with their local environment. This big book is chock-full of photos and simple descriptions of a young boy’s life in Bangladesh. As we follow Musa in his daily routines, children are encouraged to think about similarities and differences with their own lives. It’s a bright, colourful book and children will enjoy the look of pride on Musa’s face during his guided tour.

A day with Musa also includes extensive linked activities covering a range of curriculum subjects.
