BOOK REVIEWS
Children's Literature
This paperback is part of the "I Wonder Why" series that is making its first appearance in the United States. There are thirty-seven questions in the book that cover numerous topics concerning the many countries of the world and the people who live in them. Readers can learn where women wear bowler hats, which country has more sheep than humans, where elephants glow in the dark, which city is built above the clouds, and who makes pictures using sand. Each page also contains other interesting facts related to the topics. Several illustrators have provided strong, vivid pictures that relate well to the text. While there is an index, a pronunciation guide would have added to the book's usefulness, especially as this title is intended for students in the early grades of elementary school. Those needing additional reference materials to round out their collections may find this book helpful.
