Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Reviewed with Patrick Ryan's Poland.
Gr. 3-5, younger for reading aloud. With lots of big color pictures and a simple text, each photo-essay in the Faces and Places series introduces a country to a young audience. There's a big clear map and then a double-page spread for each subject: geography, history, plants and animals, food, work, pastimes and holidays, etc. Some of the text is the usual generic stuff ("The Polish people love to be outside. . . Family, friends, and education are very important to the Polish people"); but the specific details and the contemporary photos give a strong sense of both the places and the people who live there. The book on Iran talks a lot about the politics, past and present, and makes clear that not all Iranians are the same. The books, which include a glossary and a list of Web sites, are a good starting place for report writing and for young readers interested in family roots and connections. Hazel Rochman
