K-Gr 2—Content and illustrative flaws limit this set's effectiveness. Topics include the country's location, topography and landforms, notable plants and animals, rural and urban areas, popular foods, and recreation. The main text is supplemented with critical thinking questions that are too advanced for beginning readers, who will either have to search for answers elsewhere or rely on adults for information. Examples include questions about the reasons why the Chinese built the Great Wall or the types of items that could be built with teakwood in India. The single map is almost featureless, and photos are generic—few are captioned or have children as their subjects. VERDICT No improvement on extant sets.
Every country has its own awesome attractions. What makes China special? Explore China's amazing features, including the Great Wall, the many growing cities, and more. Full-color photographs and carefully leveled text bring China to life, while age-appropriate critical thinking questions introduce readers to nonfiction. Let's go!
