Globe-Trotters Club series.
Though nearly identical to the same book in the publisher's Ticket To series, this book for older readers provides slightly more detail on Puerto Rico's geography, people, language, religion, economy, and customs. The conversational text is sometimes condescending. Highlighted text boxes include fast facts, recipes, and songs. Color photographs appear on every page. Bib., glos., ind.

Ticket To series.
The landscape, people, language, customs, and daily life in Puerto Rico are presented through a friendly but overly enthusiastic text. Brief chapters, oversized type, and many color photographs lend appeal for the early elementary set. While intended for younger readers than the same title in the publisher's Globe-Trotters Club series, both books are practically identical. Bib., glos., ind.
