Horn Book Review

A simple, dull text combines with bland color photographs and maps to introduce the geography, regions, plant and animal life, natural resources, and people of this continent. This formulaic book, little more than an encyclopedia entry, provides a lackluster look at its subject. A list of resources and a map-reading exercise are appended. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
