Countries in the News: Japan
by Kieran Walsh
 
Review by Shayna
 
Did you know that Japan was made up of several thousand islands?  The four main islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. The highest peak is Mount Fuji which reaches up to 12, 388 feet. This book has a lot of facts for children and teenagers that are willing to open up and learn about a country that’s all the way around the world. I would recommend this book to 1st graders through 8th grade.

  1. Shayna, I didn't realize that Japan was made up of so many islands - that's a lot! I find Japan to be a fascinating place, I would love to visit some day, although I'm not sure I can eat the food. Did this book address what Japanese people eat? :0), Mrs. Haas
