Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 4-8-Students have a variety of sources to peruse regarding countries, but these books stand out because of their accessible facts and excellent, plentiful color images. Short chapters cover geography, nature, history, culture, and government and economy. Text boxes extend into a variety of issues including popular culture, customs, and celebrations. Full-page, landscape-oriented maps afford wide insight into aspects of the lands such as physical features, vegetation and ecosystems, and population. The books discuss recent developments as well as historical milestones. They will satisfy general interests and needs for history, geography, world languages, or cross-curricular projects.-Beth McGuire, Fannett-Metal School District, Willow Hill, PA (c) Copyright 2010.
