 MY TIDBITS

Bright colored and packed with Nepal's variety, this short book gives a great first glimpse into the mountainous country.

The text is simple enough for young, beginner readers and short enough not to scare away more reluctant ones. Important facts are sprinkled among more fun ones, which not only holds readers' interest, but also allows the country to be presented in a diversity of ways. Everything from food to history to sports and, of course, Mount Everest are touched upon.

The bright photographs allow readers to get a glimpse at everyday life and the sights in Nepal. Little bubbles with extra tidbits help express the images in the photographs. There are also pronunciation helps with some of the more difficult words.

At the end of the book, there's a glossary, index and website address, where readers can go to find more information.

It's a simple book packed with first bits of interesting facts, so kids can get their first glimpses at the country and culture.
