Food and Festivals series.
Though limited in their approach, these books introduce six foods from each country and offer a glimpse at some of the religious and secular festivals and holidays celebrated. The simple texts skim the surface of the different cultures but don't give in-depth overviews. Each volume features plenty of color photos and includes four or five simple recipes, most of which are related to the festivals. Bib., glos., ind.

We Come From series.
Pierre and Moritz, both nine years old, are each the focus of these slight books. Introducing basic facts, these overviews provide a general look at life in the two countries. The brief texts, printed in a large, easy-to-read typeface, are accompanied by a map and plenty of color photographs. A "fact file" page is appended to each volume. Bib., glos., ind.
