Each book in the Exploring Countries series (6 titles) gives a brief overview of a specific country, highlighting its famous sites, land and animals, and cultural touchstones. The text is written simply, with more complex terms bolded and defined in the glossary. The books are intended for academic use and enrichment, and they prominently implement nonfiction features, such as a table of contents, a picture glossary, and occasional fact boxes. An introductory page offers “Support for Caregivers and Teachers,” consisting of questions for before, during, and after reading, along with sample answers. These books are most appropriate for elementary school libraries.
