Introducing your child to different countries and cultures around the world is so important to the growth and acceptance of those who are different from them. Roman's series teaches children to appreciate those differences through learning about all the unique qualities that various countries hold. In IF YOU WERE ME AND LIVED IN...PERU, you can teach your child about the changing climates, the various land forms, the language, and food. I'm pretty sure your child would love to try the fried doughnuts (picarones) served for dessert. If you happen to visit Peru during February, be sure to have a towel because you may be ambushed by a bucket of water during their Carnival.

There are lots of fun things to learn about Peru and by sharing this book with children, you are giving them a way to learn about other countries and the people that live in them. ( )

If you would like to take your child on a cultural trip around the world, Carol Roman’s If You Were Me and Lived in….series is the perfect place to start. This educational series describes the life, activities and people around the world. If You Were Me and Lived in…Peru again introduces children to the local area, activities, and local culture. The book answers questions that children would ask about names, foods, games, toys, school and holidays. The print is large and easy to read and the illustrations are fun with bold colors and designs. There is a pronunciation guide in the back for unfamiliar words.

The books are ideal for pre-school and elementary school aged children. I also think they are ideal for Sunday Schools to cultivate an interest in missions around the world.

A copy of this book was provided free of charge in exchange for an honest review. ( )

In this book we learn the capital is Lima and we learn the word actually means "talker. We also learn common names for boys and girls. If you visit you will want to know that their money is called nuevos soles. You will learn a little bit about the Incas. You will read about some of their favorite foods such as fried guinea pig. Peru is the potato capital where you will find about 4000 kinds of potatoes. There is so many more cultural things to learn as you take this wonderful trip to Peru.
