MY REVIEW / THOUGHTS:

I love these little books.  Roman's does a great job of educating little ones about different countries and cultures.  I wish I could say they were just for kids, but I learn something new every time I read another one of these books.  

If you have little kids and want to expose them to some culture, and countries, these are some great resources.   In my opinion it's our job to embrace all the different cultures we are surrounded by and teach our children to love everyone.

Mateya Arkova's beautiful illustrations illustrate what Vikings ate and their children did for fun. If You Were Me and Lived in..

MY REVIEW / THOUGHTS:

I love these books.  I especially loved this one.  Who doesn't love a viking?  This was a fun story about the Vikings, informative, and fun to read.  

I cannot wait to have grand kids and read these stories to them.  It's such a great way to educate them, with out it being "boring".  Although I don't know if the word reading and boring can be used in the same sentence.  

I love how Roman puts a glossary at the end of the books, that allow children to see how they are pronounced.  I just love these books.  They are fun.
