Great way to introduce children to Norway

I bought this book for our children prior to the arrival of our Norwegian nanny. The book is delightful with wonderful photographs and illustrations. It includes just enough information to pique the imagination & interest of younger children and create a springboard for further studies or exploration of the country for older kids. It covers everything from geography to weather, to the lives of children in Norway, to a short history, to food, to customs, to holidays, to architecture and art. It also has a simple craft project, a guide to some Norwegian words and a reference guide to other books. My kids really enjoyed the book and learned a lot. In fact, the whole family did. I would think this book is appropriate for kids ages 4-10, though even older kids would benefit.
