Summary
Take a fascinating around-the-globe tour, with a stopover in every nation on every continent, in this picture-packed children's book. Discover the countries of the world--exploring their geography, wildlife, traditions, and arts--in this picture-packed children's book. Every country profile is full of photos, and each nation has a full-color map detailing its main cities, landscape features, and borders, and exactly where in the world they are. At-a-glance panels provide a quick reference to all the stats, and the easy-to-read text is full of fascinating, fun facts. Countries of the World shows the many unique things that make one country different from another but might also reveal surprising similarities. Did you know that Cuba's national sport is baseball, one of the most popular sports in the US? And that kids in both Japan and Chile have earthquake drills on their school schedules? Find out about anything from the spookily vibrant Day of the Dead parade in Mexico and the beautiful springtime cherry blossom displays of Japan to blueberry picking in Sweden and India's space program. So pack your bags, decide your destination, and begin your journey
