Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

ea. vol: 127p. illus. maps. photogs. reprods. chron. index. (Enchantment of the World Series). CIP. Childrens. Nov. 1985. PLB $14.95. Grade 4-6 Although uneven in writing style, both of these books will be popular with students. The first delight is the scores of color photographs, even though some are out of focus. The second treasure is the complete yet concise Mini-facts/Chronology/Important People section at the end, summarizing the textgeography, history, politics, society, the arts. Kenya is the better of the two; Argentina suffers from occasional oversimplification and use of vague adjectives. Similar in format to the "Enchantment of Africa" series (Childrens) but with color photos, these titles are slightly more superficial, but much more attractive, than Lippincott's "Portraits of the Nations" series.

This review is from: Argentina (True Books: Countries) (Paperback)

I bought this book and several others for a multicultural project for myself and other teachers. We found them simple enough to use with our Kindergartners to get information for our projects. The true book series are good for young kids and have some very interesting facts.
