        There are many books that are diverse and cross themes with whatever we are studying in class.

        We read books, look at maps and the globe and talk about the countries, their foods and their languages.

        As a librarian, world languages teacher, and father of two, I love this book series. These texts are a great way to introduce younger students to geography.

        They are learning just by being in school, being friends with children of other cultures and Carole Roman books. They are the best out there.
