[Ad Astra]

Loved this! It has tons of well presented nonfiction info alongside crafts, local lore, and stories. Great read for middle school children and high schoolers to learn more.

Buku seperti ini sangat wajib dibagikan oleh konjen di luar negeri.
Karena bisa membuat para pembaca, terutama anak-anak, lebih mengenal Indonesia.
Selain informasi mengenai sejarah, kehidupan sosial, bahkan keragaman budaya, buku ini juga memuat beberapa kata dalam bahasa Indonesia.
Meski ada bagian yang lumayan menohok di halaman 30. Menunjukkan betapa nilai tukar uang kita cukup rendah
Cocok dijadikan souvenir

The book may be created and targeted for the children, it did not stop me from learning more new things about Indonesia I would never know. I'm a huge fan of anime and Asia culture so my knowledge of the East is higher than average joe and the book still taught me new things. I'm going to collect the materials today and try out the recipes today. That food section was very interesting and I happens to love PANCAKE! :-)
