School Library Journal Review

Gr 3-4-These overviews cover the political, historical, geographic, and cultural basics of their respective countries. The texts are simple and reader-friendly and are heavily supported by photographs (both color and black and white), charts, graphs, and maps. Quite a bit of good information can be found here, delivered in a question-and-answer format in chapter spreads. In Canada, even the sport of curling gets a mention. These books provide almost identical coverage as the "A Visit to-" series (Heinemann Library) but manage to fall nicely between the reading levels of the "Welcome to" series (Gareth Stevens) and "The Countries" series (ABDO).
