A great country, Brazil. Today I took a trip to the Amazon Rain Forest located there. And it is the largest rain forest in the world; filled with all kinds of animals and insects. Brazil is the largest country in South America, and is also known to be the largest producer of coffee in the world.
I love the Pronunciation Guide in the back of the book that breaks down each word and also gives the meaning of each. That, to me, helps to break down the language barrier. There is also a game that you ...more

Once again, Carole Roman has done it again in teaching young people about another country (and in time for the Olympics as well). I like how she shows the culture, geography, language, and history so simply that kids learn as well as enjoy the story. Even us adults learn something from reading these books.

The book is simple, colorful and even has a section on the important who's who for Brazil. She has even included a glossary in the back. Well done, Carole Roman. ...more
