Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-4-Information-packed, volumes cover the history, government, nature, geography, climate, resources, people, and recreational activities of each titular nation. Excellent color photos, many capturing the diversity of local people, convey the country's vibrancy, as does each title's upbeat tone. "Did You Know?" and "What Do You Think?" sidebars add information and/or pose questions; titles sometimes also use graphics to convey data. Highlights of each book include a "before-and-after-reading" guide for adults that offers strategies to develop students' nonfiction reading skills. Iraq omits all mention of political turmoil; Brazil suggests the nation's now-impeached president remains in office, which dates the volume. VERDICT Notable for its breadth, this series would make a fine introduction to world nations. © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Review by Horn Book Review

The books in this series offer brief information about India's and Pakistan's geography, history, and culture. Both do a fairly good job compressing years of history and current political issues into short chapters, but the texts therefore read more like encyclopedia entries due to the amount of information the books attempt to cover. Directory, reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Countries and Cultures titles: [cf2]India[cf1] and [cf2]Pakistan[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010.
