This book focuses on the people, climate, history, food and culture of the Andes mountains, particularly Peru and Bolivia. It is not a "quick" book to read, as it goes quite in-depth for a childrens book. I thought the long paragraphs and depth of information would be too much for my four year old, but I was wrong. She is fascinated with the book and the pictures and loves to have it read over and over again, and I have learned along with my daughter. I look forward to reading others in this series with my kids!
