thought this was amazing! (I read the third edition)
It had valuable information in it, and I was even able to take notes! I read this for fun just to learn about the country, but this would be great if someone needed to write an essay or travel to Norway. I especially loved the references for further reading at the end of every section.

This book contained some good basic information about Norway that was accessible for a middle-grade reader.
