Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-4-These books describe land features, provide a brief history, and offer facts about the featured countries. Chapter subtitles in the form of questions such as "When would you eat candy skulls?" (Mexico) and "Why is Brazil sizzling in January?" encourage reader exploration. Information about area, language, population, and type of government is found in the endnotes. Lists of books with copyrights from 1999 to 2006 and of Web sites and places to visit are appended. Most glossary words include a pronunciation. Page layout is appealing, with a variety of bright, clear, captioned color photos. These titles will entertain as they educate young children.-Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX (c) Copyright 2010.
