Welcome to My Country series.
A tour of this southeastern European nation provides readers with a broad but adequate introduction to its geography, history, politics, economics, people, food, festivals, and leisure activities. Each topic receives one or two page treatment, and good-quality photos with clear captions accompany large-type text on every page, increasing the information's accessibility. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

Welcome to My Country series.
These books all follow the same formula in content and layout--one or two pages per topic with a captioned illustration on each page. Topics include geography, history, and several aspects of the cultures. Coverage is broad but reasonably current; Iraq touches on the end of Saddam Hussein's reign. Map, reading list, websites.
