Gr 1-3--Average introductions to each country. Each book opens with a world map on the title page, pinpointing the location of the area under discussion. The first page of text features a simple physical map that includes the places mentioned. Double-page spreads treat the land, landmarks, homes, food, clothes, work, transportation, language, school, free time, celebrations, and the arts. A generally attractive, informative, full-color photograph covers the top half or more of each page with three-to-five lines of large-type text below. The material is necessarily abbreviated and does not take regional differences into account. The Chinese New Year is identified as the Spring Festival; and the Vietnamese Trung Thu festival, misspelled as Tung Tu, occurs in mid-September, not August. Pictures do not always mesh with the text: a Vietnamese house of wood is shown, while the accompanying wording states "many...are made of stone or bamboo." Vietnamese "landmarks" are hardly what one might expect--a river delta picture and a nondescript Hanoi street scene. Fact files, foreign "Words You Can Learn," and well-done glossaries round out these offerings.
