Library Media Connection
Beautifully illustrated pages provide readers with encyclopedic information about different countries. The pages are filled with facts and tidbits. While the illustrations provide some textual support, descriptions of geography or animals unique to the particular country contain information beyond what is represented by the maps or photos. This may leave the reader struggling for understanding or curious for more information. Vocabulary words are in bold type and require the use of the brief glossary should the reader be unfamiliar with them. Charts and graphs convey information about the people and languages spoken. Descriptions of common foods and popular dishes are shared. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites.
