This title of the “Enchantment of the World” series will have readers intrigued with just with the cover: a seeming tapestry of revelers clad in gold and gems. This is an update of the 2006 edition. The revisions in this title include updated statistics, new photographs, and a publisher’s website that directs readers to additional online resources on Brazil. This series continues to be an excellent resource for country studies. The highly visual and well-organized book will appeal to readers of all ages. Conversational text describes the geographical, political, historical and cultural features of Brazil. It covers the most sought-after information for reports and research. The numerous, stunning color photographs provide an insightful look at Brazil on their own, making it ideal for browsers. Sidebars, fact boxes and a recipe add more interesting details. Back matter includes timelines, “Fast Facts”, bibliography and index. The title would be a valuable addition to any library.

I loved reading this with my son. I’m from Brazil. This book is very well detailed and provides lots of fun facts about a country that is so multifaceted. My favorite part was adding my own accounts to confirm the veracity of what we were reading. I can’t wait to read another with him.
