Here’s a chance to explore our neighbor continent to the south – from its terrestrial highs and lows to its past, its present, and even perhaps its future. The journey of discovery begins with a look at the “face” of South America, its stand-out geographical features, like the highest peak in the hemisphere, the longest river, the greatest rainforest. From there, the discovery takes a look into the past.
How the South American experience is different from ours in the North. How it’s similar. The exploration continues with an honest look and thought-provoking pause points related to European-Indigenous interactions. Stepping into the present, it concludes with a region-by-region survey of countries and capitals on this amazing continent.
Kids interested in ancient civilizations will want to dive into the culture, artifacts, arts, and architectural achievements of the Inca and other early peoples. Kids of all backgrounds will come to appreciate the complexity of human interaction and relationships that have led to South America being what it is today. Whether it’s the Amazon Rainforest, the Argentinian Pampas, or the Andes Mountains, science-oriented kids will enjoy the images and discussions of featured landforms and bodies of water. The stats about each country will give math-oriented kids plenty to dwell over. All in all, this is a look at South America that is both broad and deep, lively and thought-provoking, and fun and compelling.
