Editorial Reviews

Gr 4–6—Within these compact, content-rich books, readers jaunt through towns and settlements on the seven continents, learning about the people, landscape, and commerce of each. Authors present each city or area in two to four pages, highlighting different modes of transportation along the way. Visuals, including color photographs, drawings, maps, and paintings, are captioned and supplement the text well. Indigenous populations are respectfully acknowledged, and the word Indigenous is capitalized in each relevant title. Thoughtful reflection questions are included throughout; however, a few times the placement of the questions precedes content related to them. Each title is well organized, and the back matter lists recommended titles, often from the publisher, and websites appropriate for young people. No sources or bibliography are provided. VERDICT Despite the assumption that most readers live in the northern hemisphere, these titles contain relevant information and are useful for most libraries.
