COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 2–In the “Our World” series, this book shows vibrant scenes from Brazil, then simple sentences in both English and Portuguese, plus a smattering of phonetics. “Let’s cool down with cups of mate and dripping frozen treats.” The guide makes clear that “mate” is “MAH-chee.” There is a day in the life of Brazil and domestic scenes, as charming as the other books in the series.
VERDICT Armchair traveling for the youngest, or a way for them to learn about faraway relatives and new words.
