Customer Reviews

Outstanding series on foreign cultures

Consistently outstanding series on a variety of well known and obscure foreign countries. The "people", "land", and "culture" breakdown makes it easy for people to track information from one book to another through the series. Good info on religion, customs, cities, resources, ancient civilizations, history, etc. Probably best for advanced elementary school/middle school students, but also outstanding for ESOL students at any age level.
