K-Gr 4—This visually appealing atlas notes the many different languages that are spoken around the world. After being introduced to the topic continent ("Welcome to Europe"), readers are given a bit of background information on that region (e.g., romance languages) and are then taken on a linguistic journey through each country. Very basic expressions (greetings, salutations) are translated from English into the different languages. Although the enticing illustrations heavily feature children, they would likely also resonate with older readers. The book is accompanied by a free downloadable app that sonically explores the tongues presented. VERDICT Perfect for ELL classes and schools and any library in need of an easy-to-navigate title on world languages.—Elizabeth Anne Ragain, Springfield Public Schools, MO
