Countries of the World: Brazil

by Michael Dahl
Published by Capstone Press 1997
Reading Level 2-
24 Pages
Genre: Non-Fiction

Summary:
This book walks us through Brazil and teaches us about the culture there. We learn that they live in a Rain Forest, and have lots and farms, as well as cities. We learn how the travel and how their river system works to their advantage. We learn about what the kids are like there and how their schools are organized. Continuing we learn about their food and animals, and what they celebrate and get excited about. Near the end we even learn one of their favorite party games. The color choice is easy to follow. Black, white, green and colored pictures. The pictures make it much easier to understand the text and see what it is really like there.

Reaction:
This was a very good reference book. It had things from the population, to how to speak a little Portuguese. It was interesting and I learn a couple new things.

Potential Problems:
None

Recommend:
This is a great reference book for elementary kids. It could be fun to use for a presentation and display book. I think any kids who like to learn about the world would like this type of book.
