School Library Journal Review

Gr 5-9-Both of these titles offer up-to-date information on the geography, history, government, lifestyles, religion, festivals, arts, and contemporary life in their subject countries. The concise writing offers enough material for report writers without overwhelming them. Numerous full-color and black-and-white photos of interest, a clean layout, and use of pastels to highlight headings and sidebars contribute to the attractiveness of these presentations. The color map and page of notes at the end of each volume will aid those in search of quick facts while detailed tables of contents and solid indexes provide easy access to the text.-Laura Younkin, Ballard High School, Louisville, KY (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review

Formerly British Honduras, the country of Belize is shifting from an English language society to a country where Spanish is increasingly playing a bigger role. The chapters on language, people, religion, the arts, and festivals focus on the multicultural mix of Belize. Excellent photos, maps, and chapters on history, the economy, and geography round out this presentation. Bib., glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
