From the rugged sea caves of North Point to the calm fishing town of Oistins, from the world's oldest rum to the tiniest whistling frog, ABCs of Barbados takes young readers on a letter-by-letter adventure through one remarkable Caribbean island. Each of the 26 chapters explores a genuine piece of Barbadian geography, history, wildlife, food, or culture - the ancient baobab tree in Queen's Park, the story of Emancipation, the dazzling costumes of Kadooment Day, the green monkeys swinging through the gullies... Written in warm, engaging language for curious readers aged 7 to 12. Packed with real facts, vivid detail, and a genuine sense of discovery, this fact book is perfect for young explorers, homeschool learning, classroom geography units, or any child (or grown-up ) planning a trip to Barbados. Written by Annabelle Irvin.
