It had a great balance of text and pictures to keep my 5 year old interested without overwhelming him with too many random facts, while still providing a thorough and well-rounded first look at the geography and culture of South America.

This is the perfect geography read for elementary age students learning about the seven continents, with a focus on South America. The information is presented clearly with both the informative text and amazing images.

It's a decent intro to the continent. A bit too basic.
