Summary: This book is about the country Chile.  It starts off with a map of Chile and talks a little the volcanoes that are located on Chile.  It tells a bit about mining and farming.  On every page there is a fun fact about Chile and the topic that it is presenting on that page.  It then goes on to talk about the main foods that the people of Chile eat.  Then it talks about the history of Chile and the people that live there today.  Next it talks about the family and Spanish, as that is their main language.  The book continues as it talks about Religion, Holidays, the cities, and homes that are in Chile.  It tells about the specifics of schooling and how each school has its own uniforms.  It tells about the games people like to play, wildlife, arts, and crafts.  The book ends with the Flag of Chile and a couple fast facts.

My Reaction to the Book:  I liked this book just like I liked the one about Cuba.  It has a lot of great information on the country and it has a lot of good pictures.

Potential Problems:  There are not any problems in this book as it is simply an information book about Chile.

Recommendations:  I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn a little more about Chile.
