What a great book about another country. Not really a travel guide, and not really good for researching reports, but filled with fun facts about Great Britain arranged in an entertaining fashion. Makes me want to read the others books in the series. The pictures and graphics are up to date and intriguing to today's contemporary student. No old looking line drawings or photographs that look like they are from another generation.
Did you know there is a law on the books that forbids kids to fly a kite in the metropolitan areas of Britain? Or the British have a sport called trainspotting that is similar to bird watching? Trainspotters keep a journal of all the different trains they have seen. Or that golf was invented in Scotland and Mary, Queen of Scots was an avid player. Other popular facts include J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, the Loch Ness Monster and James Bond.
