Smiling, colorfully dressed children greet readers as they embark on this brief tour of India. First, its landscape, wildlife, and plant life are described alongside crisp photos of snow-capped mountains, an elephant family, and a teak forest. Next, readers stop by a bustling city, an ancient temple, a cricket match, and a table filled with Indian food. The information in this title in the Bumba Books: Let's Explore Countries series is extremely basic, but the illustrations offer young readers a nice glimpse into another culture. Two-page spreads pair a large-scale picture with a colorful page of simple text and the occasional critical-thinking bubble, and the book ends with a map and picture glossary. Curious readers will crave more informational texts, but this is a good first stop on their journey.--Booklist -- Journal (4/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)
