DESCRIPTION:

Join Carole P. Roman when she visits the beautiful land of Germany in the newest book of her informative series. Learn about the varied customs and cultures. Travel to the central Europe to discover what you would eat and do for fun. See the land through the eyes of a youngster like you and understand what life is like in this exciting place. Don't forget to look at the other books in the series so that you can be an armchair world traveler. 

MY REVIEW / THOUGHTS:

I have reviewed several of these children's books, and I am excited I got to do another one.  I think these are such great books for kids.  It teaches them a little about another country, how they talk, what they like, etc.  It's such a great way to expose our children to different countries and traditions.

I think I learn something every time I get one of these sweet books.  I love that she has a glossary at the end of the book to help you understand how things are pronounced and what they mean.  

If you have kids, or are a teacher, these are such great books to add to your collections.  It would be especially nice if you have kid in your class from another country so that the kids can learn more about where they came from.  Culture exposure is so important and so fabulous all at the same time.

The illustrations are fun, and help kids understand what they are talking about if they don't read very well.  These are such fun book.  Take some time and pick one up and read it to your child.  It opens up so many more questions about the country and allows the child to explore.

Source:  I was given this book by the author.  I was not compensated in any way, and it does not affect my review in any way.  These are my own PERSONAL thoughts on the book.
