SLJ Review of Exploring World Cultures
This offering from Cavendish Square complements their “Cultures of the World” series, written at a lower reading level for younger readers. It follows a similar structure, examining the nations’ geography, economy, and government in the first half, followed by an exploration of cultures, including sections on fun and play, arts and festivals, and food. The pages come alive with captivating images of currency, food, people, and landscapes, accompanied by informative captions and fact boxes. The back matter features a glossary, an index, and additional resources. VERDICT A thorough study of world cultures.
