We Visit Peru We Visit Brazil

Gr 3—5—Colorfully illustrated with photographs on almost every page, these attractive introductions have maps that place each country in a global context and one that shows cities and regions. "Facts at a Glance" pages provide quick reference sources. Brief chapters discuss history, government, geography, and natural history. In Peru, one photo is identified as two different locations, one as Tambomachay and another as Baños del Inca near Cajamarca. Brazil briefly mentions the ongoing destruction of the Amazon rain forest but not its impact on global climate changes. Both books will be useful for reports as they also provide brief biographies of famous people, a recipe, and a craft (both require adult assistance).—Frances E.
