India

by David Cumming

Portraits of both urban and rural life give readers a balanced perspective of foreign countries. Information about the terrain and climate, major export products, and natural resources create a context for understanding the country's inhabitants. Visits with urban and rural families teach students about education, jobs, sports, home and social life, and ethnic traditions. Vivid photographs and city maps work with the text to give readers the complete experience of visiting a foreign country.

This was an interesting and informative addition to our home school geography class. The material is presented in an easy to follow format with nice photographs that complement the text well. However, the publication date is listed as 2000, the information about the daily life in India may have changed dramatically in the past 19 years.

Perfect for Grades: Elementary/Middle School.
