Back when the Iron Curtain was beginning to have some holes, I spent two weeks in Europe. My roommate and I went to Germany and to Poland. The book throws in a lot of language for the countries being studied, including pronunciation helps. In reading through the book, you cover words for family members (mom, dad, grandma, grandpa) and food, plus words for place names. You learn about some important people or events, such as Chopin and Copernicus, and why there are so many mermaid statues in Warsaw." - Debra Brinkman, Footprints in the Butter "My children thought it would be great to visit Poland. They would love to see the statues and gnomes described in the book. And, seeing how we love the outdoors, all the outdoor activities were pretty appealing." - Good Sweet Love "Carole P. Roman does a great job of selecting fascinating facts to share with young readers. Geographical and historical details are intertwined with cultural specifics about food, music, sports, toys, and even popular names that could be given to a child if they were born in Poland." - Bianca Schulze, The Children's Book Review "When reading about Poland, the photograph of the modern metropolis of Warsaw jumps out at the reader, against the backdrop against a clear blue sky and skyscrapers in the distance from an illustrated bridge accent. ... By combining geography with mixed media- I believe that Roman will generate even greater interest and attention for her educational series." - Patricia Dompieri, The Lemon Bee Book & Blog "By placing young readers in a what-if scenario that casts them as children growing up in Poland, Roman instantly achieves a level of engagement that's not common in books about other cultures." - Peter Dabbene, Foreword Reviews "One particular thing that stands out in this book for me, like all others written by Carole P. Roman, is her ability to engage the young reader and captivate their imagination." Reviewed by Edith Wairimu for Readers' Favorite If You Were Me and Lived in...
