How Much?

This creative, vividly illustrated picture book brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of markets all over the world, from Thailand to India to Peru. Everything imaginable is bought and sold in markets, from brightly colored blankets to silent camels. At the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, just outside Bangkok, Thailand, fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods are sold from long, slender boats. In Madras, India, the Evening Baraar Flower Market sells flowers by the pound, the ground covered with discarded leaves. Explorations of markets in Peru, Egypt, and the United States are also included. Accompanied by Ted Lewin`s gorgeous, detailed watercolors. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
