Synopsis

This series introduces children to the countries of the world through pictures. Each title focuses on one country and uses top-quality photographs and clear text to explain key facts and features. These include the people and how they live, the climate, landscapes, towns and cities, plus chapters on what the country produces. A full-colour map details major geographical features and places pictured in the book. Each title has an index and notes to explain how to use the book. Egypt brings to life through outstanding photography the history, geography, culture and religious customs of this ancient land.

From School Library Journal:

Pres-Grade 2?Country studies for the preschool and primary set? This publisher's theory is that young children are increasingly exposed to world events through modern communications technology; consequently, they might as well be educated on these topics. Pluckrose meets the challenge of producing quality products for this target audience. Very simple texts present basic information (land, people, cities, jobs, food, sports, festivals). Appealing full-color snapshots appear on every page. The books are attractive and could spawn much discussion. There are occasional Briticisms ("cinema" for movies, "football" for soccer). Helen Arnold's Egypt (1996) and France (1995, both RSVP) approach this level of simplicity for slightly older readers.?Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
