Booklist Review of Countries of the World (Bellwether)
The slender volumes in the Countries of the World series (8 new titles) offer brief introductions to nations. In each book, the coverage begins with a photo of a city or landscape as well as a world map indicating the country’s location. In short sentences (usually five to eight words), the large-type text comments on significant features, while the illustrations feature aspects of the land’s climate, terrain, and animals. After mentioning cultural aspects such as the people’s language, heritage, religion, food, music, festivals, and popular sports and games, the presentation concludes with a few fast facts (populations, capital, etc.) about the country and a picture of its flag. Brightly colored photos and design elements appear on every double-page spread, showing varied views of the land, the people, and their culture. Each book includes a photo of kids greeting the reader with their version of “Hello.” Dominican Republic offers glimpses of the country’s Carnaval celebration and students in a classroom: “Hola (OH-lah).” Short, colorful, upbeat introductions to countries.
