Grade 5-9-Broad overviews of each country's culture, geography, and history. The clearly presented, easy-to-understand texts discuss government, economy, people, lifestyles, religion, language, arts and leisure, festivals, and food. The logical sequence of the material makes it inviting and user-friendly. In addition, copious colorful photographs and reproductions complement and reinforce the facts presented. A local recipe may inspire further investigation of the culture. A "Quick Notes" page in each volume lists important facts and provides students with a handy referral and access to material. Appealing, informative, and engaging resources for reports.
