If You Were Me and Lived in...Greece: A Child's Introduction to Culture Around the World by Carole P. Roman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily Says:

This book was incredible and all about the amazing place of Greece!

My favorite part was learning about all the awesome food to eat! it made me hungry! I wanted to be there to eat all the food!

My Favorite picture was of the Parthenon. I liked that it was built for the goddess Athena, but it is sad that it got blown up. it is still pretty though and I thought the picture was very nice.

I learned about their new years tradition of putting a coin in the cake and whoever finds it in their piece will have good fortune in the upcoming year. I also learned that Athens is the largest city in Greece and 3,4oo years old! that is really old!

I would recommend this book to one and all! I enjoyed it a lot!

Carole does an amazing job with this book and I really enjoyed reading it with my daughter. I am so grateful for these amazing books and the incredible cultures we get to experience every time we open one. I loved learning about how they would stop wars just to play the Olympic games, or what names they would choose in that country. Carole is brilliant and I just know the next will be just as great! don't miss out on these books for your kids!

If You Were Me and Lived in ...Norway: A Child's Introduction to Cultures Around the World by Carole P. Roman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily Says:

This book was amazing! and all about the amazing things to do and see in Norway!

My favorite picture was the one with the dog sled and the huskies in it. It was my favorite because huskies are a favorite and I really love dog sleds.

My favorite part of the book was the Snow Hotel! what an amazing place! A Hotel made of snow and Ice would be a place I would want to visit, with a great view of the Northern Lights. I loved picture too with the ice fishing and the dog sled team in the background.

I Learned people have used ski's as far back as 4000 years ago. I also learned that they used to have money with a hole in the center in order to put it on a sting so they didn't loose it.

I really liked this book and I highly recommend it.

Carole is a brilliant author and fills each book to the brim with colorful pages and interesting facts. I love learning about the history and the cultures of the different places! Norway is fascinating, my favorite being the snow and ice hotel! I loved that you could spend time there seeing the lights and sculptures, ice fishing and have to wear your coat indoors! I cant wait to read more!
