Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5 These books, originally published in England, are not written from the child's point of view, so the degree of intimacy and involvement with each family's life is limited. Ezzat, a 10-year-old Egyptian boy; Wang Chun Ling, a 12-year-old Chinese girl; and Pascal, a 10-year-old French boyand their familiesare depicted at home, at school, at work and at leisure. Each book contains brief snippets of information, including simple maps and references to each country's language, history, religion, customs and natural resources. The strength of these books is in the plentiful color photographs, which appear on every page and enliven the serviceable prose. The photographs, while imperfect (some are dark or out of focus, and others have an amateurish "posed" quality), convey the details of life in each country. This series will adequately meet the research needs of younger students and will supplement the more factual "Take a Trip to" series (Watts). More in-depth, comprehensive information on foreign countries may be found in the "Discovering Our Heritage" series (Dillon) and the textbook-like "Enchantment of the World" series (Childrens).
