About this title

Synopsis

Did you know that Iraq was home to the oldest known human civilization on Earth? Iraq used to be known as Mesopotamia, and many different ancient peoples lived there. Iraq is often referred to as the cradle of civilization because it was one of the first places on Earth where people began living in one place together.

Today Iraq is home to about 27,499,638 people. The Iraqi people speak a variety of languages, such as Arabic, Kurdish, Turkoman, Assyrian, and Armenian. Iraq covers a whopping 168,754 square miles of land. The capital of Iraq is Baghdad and Iraq is dominated by two famous rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates. In this geographical book, young readers will learn about daily life in Iraq, contemporary Iraqi culture, and the changes that Iraq is going through today.

Iraq is ideal for readers from Grade 3 to Grade 7, and the book is part of the Exploring Countries set from Blastoff! Readers. There are 32 pages full of vibrant images and photographs, and knowledge for young minds to absorb and learn!
