Sweden FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature
This short reference book includes information about the land, people, schools, food, animals, sports, and Saint Lucia Day. The writing is factual and somewhat dry, with the pacing of the book heading downward, as the last section deals with Viking raiders and other countries' fear of them in the past. Otherwise, the book serves as report material, the pictures reflect the last several decades in fashion, and the endmatter includes a craft project of Christmas candy rolls, seven Swedish words, glossary, index, Internet and two nonfiction book sources for more information. Part of the "Countries of the World" series. 2001, Capstone Press/Bridgestone Books, $17.26. Ages 8 to 10. Reviewer: Susan Hepler
