My Thoughts: Fantastic
This fantastic book is packed with valuable information about Puerto Rico. The layout and format are easy to follow. Beautiful photographs, step-by-step instructions for activities, fun facts, a quiz, and a recipe greatly enhance the story.
I shared the book with my grandson. He found it fascinating and learned a lot from reading it.
This would be a wonderful book for any classroom or home library, and I highly recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this book. All comments and opinions are entirely my own and voluntary.
