The Horn Book Guide

These titles are part of Heinemann-Raintree’s giant undertaking, issuing books about countries all over the world for upper elementary students. Countries not always found in other series will be available. Each title includes History, Regions and Resources, Wildlife, Infrastructure, Culture, and Today. The books are easily accessible for beginning and struggling researchers, but the brevity of content encourages little analysis or synthesis of information. Wildlife provides information not often found in country books. Fact boxes and sidebars feature famous people, language pronunciation, daily life, and young people. Selectively purchase titles to fill holes in your country collections. Bibliography. Glossary. Timeline. Websites. Index. – Marion Mueller, Library Media Consultant, Rawhide Starr Academy, New London, Wisconsin Library Media Connection March/April 2012 Issue
