My Country: China

A Chinese child introduces the country’s geography, customs and culture in this attractive look at China and the people who live there. Mixing easily memorable statistics and facts with a first-person narrative explaining what it is like to be a child in China, the book uses speech bubbles, fact boxes and a longer narrative in a staggered text which is suited to shared reading. Colourful photos illustrate each page, while a focus on things that children enjoy – food, school, play and holidays – help to bring the subject alive.
