Did you know that there are 53 independent countries in Africa? It means many different peoples, languages, religions, buildings and food are found there. And as if that wasn't enough, an amazing variety of animals and plants live there as well-zebras, elephants, lions, hippopotamuses, hyenas and rhinoceroses that roam the wildlife reserves created to protect them from human predators. Africa is also a continent of ancient monuments, like the pyramids of Egypt, as well as modern cities -- you'll find that the old and the new exist side by side. The maps show where each country is located, what it looks like and who its neighbors are. You'll also find each country's colorful flag displayed. In the middle of the book is a page of removable stickers and at the end you'll find an interesting activity and a useful glossary and index.

People first came to the continent of North America during the Ice Age. Some settled in the bleak lands of the Arctic, while others walked south as far as California and Florida. They formed different tribes with their own languages, customs and ceremonies. Native Americans is the story of these people - from the hunters and warriors who speared woolly mammoths and long-horned bison, to the farmers and foragers who searched for food in the mountains and on the coast. They depended on the land for everything: for wild plants to use in healing rituals; and for materials to make and decorate clothes, masks and costumes, and to build dwellings and boats. Many Native Americans believed that the sky, earth, plants, animals and rivers had powerful spirits. Some told stories of mythical creatures that formed the world and brought good harvests.

Deep canyons, grassy plains, high mountains, lonely deserts, beautiful beaches and other miracles of nature are all a part of North America. It's a continent of extremes -- rocket launches, twisters that rage across the countryside, earthquakes, ice hockey matches played in Inuit villages, the skyscraper city of New York, grizzly bears, alligators and other colorful wildlife, the Great Lakes, and the huge sculptures of Mount Rushmore are just some of the highlights and they're all in this book! Besides the user-friendly maps that let you know exactly where everything is, you'll find each country's colorful flag displayed. And look out for the page of removable stickers in the center and the interesting activity, useful glossary and index at the end.

Crossing over into the land of long ago and far away, the listener discovers enchantment-a time peopled with hidden creatures so like ourselves. These "hulder" trolls look like us, work and live in the same way we do. But they usually have a tail-long, like a cow's tail. Embarrassing. Some hulders can be threatening. Other hulders may be honorable, fair and loving. Just like us. In them we find the best and worst of our own human qualities. Encountering mythic hulders in stories such as these can bring us to question who is the stranger, the foreigner, the "other" person? Who is inside our circle of friends? Who can be trusted? Who will be loyal? Who is outside, excluded? What are true human qualities?
