This was one of my favorite books as a child. And I think it influenced me to this day with a desire to understand other cultures. The one I just ordered will be my 3rd copy. I had one as a child that disappeared by the time I was a teen; and then I bought one as an adult, but I can't find it now, so I just ordered another one.I had to work to find this book because although I could picture the book clearly, I couldn't read/remember the title. BookFinder found it)
