COPY ISBN
Gr 3–5—Students are introduced to six Spanish-speaking countries in this series. Topics covered in each volume include food, natural history, arts, sports, and cultural traditions, as well as important landmarks, notable people, and festivals. These titles are ideal for elementary students who are interested in gaining a general knowledge of each location, as the books provide only a beginner's overview. However, the captioned photos are bright and contemporary looking. Readers will appreciate the updated information on well-known people in each country who have made a difference in the world, and the diversity of each country is positively represented in the text and photos of people and customs.
VERDICT Consider this series to inspire student interest in geography.
