4.0 out of 5 stars
A colorful and informative book,
This review is from: Puerto Rico Facts and Symbols (The States and Their Symbols) (School & Library Binding)
"Puerto Rico: Facts and Symbols," by Kathy Feeney, packs a lot of information into 24 colorful pages. The book's easy-to-read text makes it appropriate for younger readers. The book includes a map of Puerto Rico, a short list of places to visit (such as Old San Juan), a list of vocabulary words, a short bibliography for further reading, and an index.The book is illustrated throughout with some excellent full-color photographs. Topics addressed include natural resources, the commonwealth motto ("Joannes Est Nomen Ejus," which means "John Is His Name"), the capital and capitol building, the flag, etc. One of the more interesting sections is about the cocqui, the tree frog which is considered the island's unofficial animal. What the book lacks, and which would have enhanced it, is a list of famous Puerto Ricans. In fact, not a single human being is pictured in the entire book! But despite this omission, this is an interesting and informative reference work. |
