Diversity educator Teja Arboleda plays a professor who fields questions from his culturally and ethnically diverse class of hand puppets, and then looks through his magic magnifying glass to introduce students to children and adults from various cultures and ethnic groups. Viewers learn that culture is comprised of beliefs, holidays, language, ceremonies, food, and traditions, and are encouraged to identify characteristics of their own cultural heritage. Part of the three-part Diversity Elementary series, which focuses on race, culture/ethnicity, religion, appearance, and family, the second volume, Culture and Ethnicity, effectively and sensitively addresses important diversity issues in an engaging manner. A teacher's guide and reproducible handouts are also included. Recommended. The other titles in the series are: Race and Appearance. Aud: E, I, P. (L. Stevens)
