K-Gr 4—Countries around the world are celebrated with bright, eye-catching photographs in this series. Short, simple sentences with controlled language make the books easy to digest and approachable. The appealing page layouts feature large, often full-page photographs, along with captions, diagrams, maps, relevant vocabulary words, and a section of engaging "Fast Facts." Each book covers various aspects of the country, including geographical information, history, daily life, traditions, and animals that live there. Several words in the country's native language are also explained. Employing a positive tone, the volumes invite readers to appreciate diversity across nations.
VERDICT Written at a second grade reading level, this attractive series will appeal to older hi-lo readers as well as to early elementary students.
