Each book includes a craft or game and a recipe from each country that readers can try for themselves. For example, Singapore explains how many people eat at hawker centers, which are groups of food stalls. The book then gives a recipe for popiah, which are fresh spring rolls filled with an assortment of fresh, dried, or cooked ingredients. It also provides the reader with instructions on how to do shadow puppetry. A timeline aids readers in understanding important events in each country’s history. A vibrant, colorful 2-page summary of engaging data is included at the end of each book. This data includes information about the flag, populations, languages, exports, religions, work, currency, and more. This book series is intended for middle grade readers. It is a perfect selection for students to investigate more about the fascinating world around them while discovering new vocabulary and information.', Alana Jara, District Librarian, Clear Lake Community School District
