Grade 2-5-Series titles that allow readers to learn about another country through an exploration of the daily lives of children living there. While each book follows the family, school, or leisure activities of several youngsters, it also incorporates factual information and historical background that will be useful for reports. At least one captivating, full-color photograph illustrates each page. Each volume also includes a helpful pronunciation guide and a map. Good choices for country studies, multicultural units, and armchair travelers.
