This book is beautiful beautifully made, and a hit in my language classroom students are excited to see little snippets of their countries and to share with their peers. There is a little disgruntledness when some students countries have a quarter of the page where other students countries have a full page, but nonetheless, it is still a great book.

Very educational, great for all ages and interests levels, what kind I say, it is a a DK book! You will find yourself learning about countries you did not know even existed and jumping into the internet to find out more! Easy to read without being too academic or compromising depth.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book but arrived damaged

K.M. · July 31, 2024

It’s a great-looking book, with a good synopsis and interesting pictures of each country on every page. We bought it for homeschooling. Unfortunately, it arrived with a damaged front cover. It isn’t worth the trouble to send back for a replacement, but it is disappointing to pay full price for an item that comes damaged.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome

L.N. · April 19, 2025

This is a great book. So informative, and beautiful pictures also. Makes you want to travel the world, but a great way to learn about countries if you're not able to travel like me.

Designed for a younger audience, but if you're a trivia nut like me then you'll enjoy a flip though this book! Covers the basics on most countries and even includes a world map in the front!

A great book
