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

Lily Says:

This book was wonderful and all about the amazing place called Turkey!

My Favorite picture was of the Haga Sophia. I thought the picture was very beautiful and the history of the place was beautiful as well. I would love to see the place in person one day.

My favorite part was when they talked about what to call your mom and dad. I have noticed that dads are called Baba in a lot of places from reading these books.

I learned that the money they use is called a lira and that instead of soccer they call it football like in England. I also learned that they have a childrens day on April 23rd where kids would get to sit on a pretend government and get to run the country for the day, you get to be on T.V. and people come from all over just to spend time to get to know the culture. I think that is pretty cool!

I would recommend this book to everyone who loves to read! I know I loved reading it myself!

Mom Says:

This book was wonderful and I had a great time reading it! My daughter got right into all the great stuff she learned about Turkey and all the colorful pictures really helped to really bring home what we were reading. The Childrens Day in April sounded really cool and something everyone would love to take part in young and old! Carole really knows what captivates her audience and what is great to educate the mind. great job Carole! another smashing book!

If You Were Me And Lived In ... Egypt by Carole P. Roman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily Says:

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

My Favorite picture was of the capital city of Cairo. I thought it was a magnificent city! the picture was very majestic and pretty. I would love to see the Nile river one day.

My favorite part was learning about the pyramids and the Spinx! The history of them was amazing! I loved learning all the different parts that made up the Spinx and the great history of them both.

I learned that Senet is a board game in ancient times that is similar to our checkers, it was played in ancient times with sticks, King Tut even played when he was a boy. I learned that Feluccca's are sailboats and that they still build them in the old way and sail them telling stories of the old ways.

I would recommend this book to one and all! I enjoyed it very much!

Mom Says:

This book was incredible and I had a blast reading it with my girl! Egypt holds a special place in my heart and I really enjoyed reading about it with my daughter. As always Carole makes the story fun, entertaining and educational. These books are a true favorite of mine and Egypt and fantasy place I have always wanted to go. Thanks so much Carole for bringing those into my home!
