I wish they had books like this for all of the countries of the world. I would spend those hundreds of dollars to get these books...Also confession, I did not bother with going to the library for more books because I love this one so much. --<b><i>Adventures in Mommydom</i> blog</b><br><br>Appreciation for Thailand's heritage will quickly follow the reading of this book. --<b><i>Kirkus</i></b><br><br>Cheerful contemporary illustrations depicting smiling rice-pickers and rosy-cheeked street-food vendors are inviting but cast an overly idyllic charm that will leave readers erroneously convinced that Thailand is, above all, a tropical paradise. --<b><i>Booklist</i></b><br><br>Older children will love <i>All About Thailand: Stories, Songs, Crafts and Games for Kids</i>. It is packed with all kinds of fun learning activities about Thailand, from stories and songs to recipes and games. Kids can practice speaking a few words of Thai, learn more about elephants, or make their own shadow puppets! This is one my son really enjoys reading, and that I steal from my kids' room to read for myself! Would also be perfect for the classroom or a homeschool unit. --<b><i>AllDoneMonkey.com</i></b><br><br>The <i>All About Asia</i> series is the children's version of a folklore handbook, a user-friendly encyclopedia, a DIY manual for experiencing an Asian country's culture from a youth's point of view. --<b><i>AsianFortuneNews.com</i></b><br><br>The pictures are very cute and colorful. I like Thai games because they are very fun. It is very interesting to see the Indian epic Ramayanam in Thailand, where it is called Ramakien. These are the reasons why I like All About Thailand. --<b>Roshini, Age 7, <i>KidsBookBuzz.com</i></b><br><br>There's so much contained within the 64 pages of this hard-cover book it would be crazy to attempt to digest it all at once! --<b><i>CastleViewAcademy.com</i></b><br><br>This book has a bit of everything in it. There are recipes to try as well as crafts to make. It is full of so much information and is a wonderful introduction to Thailand for any child. This book (and series) is perfect for any classroom that studies the various countries of Asia. It has a bit of everything from history to modern times as well as how children spend their free time. --<b><i>Crafty Moms Share</i> blog</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Elaine Russell</b> is the author of the middle reader books <i>Martin McMillan and the Lost Inca City</i>, and <i>Martin McMillan and the Secret of the Ruby Elephant</i> as well as the adult novel <i>Across the Mekong River</i>.
