Geared toward kids but entertaining for anyone, 'All about Indonesia' offers readers snippets of fun facts about the world's largest archipelago that joins Asia to Australia. The book is a treasure trove of accessible information about Indonesia's ecology, language, food, culture, geography, history, religions, and even everyday life. Text blocks are short and focused, while the numerous pictures and illustrations give visual points of reference on every page. Readers will be amazed at the diversity found throughout the book. Hibbs highlights cultural varieties around the country, including traditional clothing, landscapes, modes of transportation, sights of tourist interest, the performing arts, and animals, some of which have their own folktales. "Did You Know" and "Say It" captions add depth to the topic in each section. Educators looking for a hands-on resource will be pleased to find several arts and crafts projects detailed in the book. Of particular interest are the pages that teach how to make traditional masks and shadow puppets. In short, I wish I had come across a book like this when I was in school.
My husband tutors a 6-year in reading and his grandparents are from Indonesia. He displayed desire to visit them one day, so this was the perfect parting gift at the end of the school year. He loved it!!
This is an excellent introductory book about fascinating Indonesia. The book contains excellent explanations and descriptions of Indonesian life, culture and history. The photos and pictures are stunning and capture many unique features of Indonesia. There are recipes, masks, puppets, batik cloth and even a volcano to make. Some of the folk stories of Indonesia are retold in a simple manner for young readers. There are many little balloons for extra information on how to practice language, 'did you know' and a funny Indonesian proverb. The book clearly highlights the variety of people, traditional clothes, houses and ways of life. It focuses on everyday life like street vendors, markets, transport and farm life. It is an interesting book for younger readers from age 5 to about 14 to learn about the diversity of Indonesia and to learn new facts in a nutshell as the information on each page is presented briefly, illustrated colorfully and relates to children at their own level.
Great for kids, to learn re other countries.
Great children book.
