Discover Trinidad & Tobago

Trinidad & Tobago is part of an interesting series we discovered earlier this year (2008) at our local library. We are slowly working out way thorough the Discovering the Caribbean series and are finding it most enjoyable! True to it's back cover description, the books in this series explore the islands of the Caribbean (usually one book to each island) presenting an overview that provides young readers with the geography, economy, a simple history, the cultural background as well as a glimpse of the cities and communities, even sports and recreation of the island and its people. One of the best features of this series (in my opinion) is that it includes all of this information in an easy to understand (for young readers) format along with a section at the back which lists yearly holidays & festivals of the islands, recipes, and a listing of projects (which allow individual children or groups to explore various aspects of the island in more detail) that make this series suited to both a classroom library and for home school families. This series is idea for children ages 8-12 and would provide a solid foundation for any study unit focusing on the Caribbean Islands! This is a series I recommend without hesitation, 5 stars and two thumbs up! A great start to the exploration of this fascinating corner of our little blue planet!
