Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:"This useful volume from the Do You Know the Continents? series presents basic information about South America. After an introductory look at the continent, five chapters spotlight its countries, cities, landforms, climate, natural resources, people, cultures, and economics. To meet the challenge of covering such a broad, complex topic in just 40 pages, this colorfully illustrated book keeps history mentions brief, concentrating instead on South America today. The text is written in short, direct sentences, while, at intervals, highlighted questions prod readers to recall what they have read. Several informative maps indicate countries, climate zones, and more, while the many captioned photos offer glimpses of the continent's people, places, and animals. Well chosen, though sometimes rather small, the photos are clearly reproduced. A quick, solid introduction to one of our southern neighbors."--Booklist
--Journal"From the striking full-color satellite cover images to the engaging text, informative maps, and high-quality illustrations, every aspect of these titles conveys the basic themes of geography to introduce the continents. Each volume opens with an interesting fact and locator map, followed by chapters about the continent's countries and cities, landforms, climate, and animals, natural resources, peoples and cultures, and economies. Coverage isn't comprehensive; rather, the authors use iconic examples, such as Carnival for South America, emperor penguins for Antarctica, and the pyramids for Africa. Topics are illustrated with large color photos, and there are at least five informative maps per book, a major strength. Captions provide information or ask comprehension or critical thinking questions. VERDICT: Solid choices for elementary collections."--School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
