K-3Countries We Come From series.
Visually attractive but superficial introductions, each volume begins with fairly vague descriptive words (e.g., "Colorful, Busy, Warm" for Guatemala) paired with bright photos. A smattering of facts about geography, animals, history, language, jobs, culture, and food follow, accompanied by engaging photos. Although a child appears on each cover, no personal anecdotes are included. "Fast facts" appended. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Countries We Come From titles: El Salvador and Guatemala.
