As explained in the subtitle, A Child's Introduction to Cultures Around the World, this is the first book in a non-fiction collection about life in other countries from a child's perspective.
The first country to be introduced is Mexico.
The author's main purpose is to give an idea about life and culture in Mexico to young readers: its capital city, language, festivals, monuments, food, etc.
It could be also used as a starting point for elementary school students to do some individual or group research about other countries and it's a good excuse to learn the 'second conditional'.
Grammar and Geography brought together to let the children investigate and appreciate the many cultures that inhabit our planet.
Colorful illustrations and a pronunciation table complete the whole experience.
Don't miss the next issues: France,Turkey, South Korea, Norway and Kenya are on the way!
I design series of activities based on a communicative method that will help children to practice the grammar they're learning at school.
Many ESL activities, I see, are nothing more than 'fill in the blank' exercises that only teach kids how to fill in blanks and miss the whole point of learning to speak and understand a new language.
It's much easier and more fun to learn by doing, and you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll see valuable results!!!

This series seems to be very useful! Geography plus grammar - what a good choice! Children learn best, while entertaining...
