Introducing Continents

Introducing Continents series.
The continent of South America is very broadly surveyed through brief topical paragraphs accompanied by color photos. Topics include geography, weather, animals, and "culture and sports," each of which is given one or two spreads. The book reads like a slicker version of a child's first geography report, which may be the point. "Fun Facts" and a pointless quiz are appended. Bib., glos., ind.
