Do you like tea? Let's travel around the world explore tea traditions from different countries and cultures.
Thoughts: I was excited about Teatime Around the World for two reasons. First, I love tea and second, I'm always looking for books that explore multiple countries or cultures at the same time. The text of the book is simple enough to share with kids during storytime. The added information also makes this a great books to share with older kids. The illustrations are colorful and I think accurately portray the cultures they depict. For tea-tastic storytime, pair with any of the following: Tea Party Rules by Ame Dyckman, Tea Rex by Molly Idle, Tea with Oliver by Mika Song, Miss Spider's Tea Party by David Kirk, The Tiger Who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr, Alice in Wonderland: The Mad Hatter's Tea Party by Joe Rhatigan, Hattie Hippo by Christine Loomis, Brimsby's Hats by Andrew Prahin, The Tiny Baker by Hayley Barrett, and Tea Party Today: Poems to Sip and Savor by Irene Spinelli.
