Families of Sweden

reviewed by the Coalition for Quality Children's Media

Description: Evelina and Matthew take the viewer through a day in the lives of their families: a birthday party, computer games, history class, pony ride, feeding ducks, swimming lesson and moose steak. Gives an intriguing taste of another culture. Adult comments: Great for discussion of cultures, traditions, family backgrounds. Shows both boy and girl perspective. Children's opinions are recognized and their needs are respected. Raises awareness of caring for our earth. Excellent educational program! Kids comments: Kids loved learning about Swedish differences and similarities to their own culture. "They take off their shoes and have swimming lessons at school." Children discovered that their best loved stories are also a part of Swedish culture. (Slow paced)
