My Review:
What a great way to get kids to learn about other countries. I also really ;liked that there were also words in a foreign language to introduce the reader. There were also a lot of culture references. I would love to have these in classrooms for when the kids are learning about the place in the book. It would definitely help. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
