Review by Booklist Review
The True Book: Seven Continents series (7 titles) dependably boasts a clean, well-organized layout, engaging text, and attractive photos. Asia takes on the enormous task of rendering the world's largest and most populous continent into bite-size chapters on its land and climate, wildlife, history, and the continent as it is today. It quickly becomes clear that Asia is a land of contrasts and incredible diversity, which is apparent in its varied geography, lush rain forests and harsh deserts, and extreme temperatures. Myriad races, religions, and cultures are also found there, with major ones described by the text, as are contrasts in wealth and poverty. A Big Truth about air pollution, an illustrated time line, topical asides on biomes and endangered animals, and a stats page round out this kid-friendly introductory text.--Julia Smith Copyright 2019 Booklist
