Reviews

Reviewed with Gillia M. Olson's Afghanistan.

Gr. 2-5. Books in the new Question and Answer: Countries subset of the Fact Finders series focus on what is happening now, but they also deal with history, geography, and traditional culture. A question heads each spacious, double-page spread ("What type of government does Afghanistan have?" "What is school like in Iraq?"); the text is simple; there are big color photos of people and places today; and lots of exclamatory FACTS! in colored screens. The design is very accessible, and grade-schoolers will appreciate the quick introduction to places that are part of the daily news (the politics in Iraq is very much from the official viewpoint of Americans as liberators). A map appears in the first chapter of each book, and a brief bibliography of children's books from 2003 and 2004, a glossary, and a Web site authenticated by Capstone staff close each volume.
