"The extraordinary continent of Europe is only a page turn away in this engaging, wide-ranging resource. Readers take a tour of each country with the help of clear and colorful maps, fun illustrations, and quick facts on just about everything-including natural wonders, different cities, cultural traditions, science, sports, pop culture, the arts, and more-plus a crash course in Europe's dramatic history. Curious would-be globe-trotters will get a glimpse of the continent's highest capital city in Andorra, Italy's smoky Mount Etna, and a festival in Denmark devoted to licorice. They'll catch the sound of yodeling as it echoes across the Swiss Alps, meet the tufty long-eared owls of Serbia, and even learn a Slovakian tongue twister! Back matter of this accessible and immersive overview includes a fact file and an index"-- Provided by publisher.
