(3) K-3 True Book series. An informative text is coupled with crisp photographs of a country rarely treated in books for children. History, geography, and economics are the strong points here, but religion and some cultural aspects of life are also highlighted. A sense of the mixture of the traditional and the modern aspects of contemporary life in this religious Islamic country is conveyed; the position of women and girls isn't really described. Bib., glos., ind.
