Editorial Reviews

11/01/2019

Gr 4–8—The journey through each country begins with a look at a color map of that country and its neighbors. Captioned color photographs abound, allowing readers to visualize the information presented in the text. Each title has facts about the country's flora and fauna and its current political and economic system. A recipe, a language activity, and a discussion of representative holidays are also included. The further learning section is a strength of this series as it contains books by award-winning authors. A few confusing captions weaken the titles, however, and while graphs are clear and relevant, no sources are given for the data. There is no bibliography in the back matter either. Photo credits are listed. VERDICT Unfortunately, the interesting and relevant content is greatly hindered by the typos and the lack of sources.
