Pakistan

Pakistan is a country book from the Enchantment of the World series recently published by Scholastic.  I chose it because I’m updating our collection of country books.   I researched the various country series available at this time and found that this series best met my needs for my K – 8 school library patrons.  The photographs are beautiful, engaging and relevant to the clearly written and organized text and there are thematic maps, timelines and graphics to further enhance the reader’s research.  A wide variety of topics are covered, including history, wildlife, climate, government, topography, culture and customs, national and international politics, religion, education, cuisine, and current issues.  There is a table of contents, index and further resources page.  I also enjoyed the “Meet the Author” pages which was interesting.  With Pakistan in the news so much in recent years, it is great to have a resource for those students who are interested in knowing more about this amazing country and it’s people.
