Italy and Italian (Getting to Know)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent juvenile reference book!
Review: After my 1st grade daughter received her first "research" assignment, we searched through Books-A-Million, WaldenBooks, and Borders, and finally came across this series. Wonderfully written, colorful and full of great information! I am buying the other 3 titles in this series for her library (Spain, Germany and France). Barron's would be foolish if they didn't attempt to expand on this series with other titles; it could be easily sold to many schools that are truly interested in valuable education

Summary: A terrific resource for primary grade students.
Review: This is a very attractive and informative book. My second grade students found it easy to use to find information about the culture and geography of Italy. I really like the format with subtitles for Famous Places, Famous People and Facts about Italy.
