ABCs of Azerbaijan: A Fact Book for Young Explorers

Take young readers on an alphabetical adventure through one of the world's most fascinating countries! ABCs of Azerbaijan: A Fact Book for Young Explorers guides curious kids ages 7-12 from A to Z through the landscapes, history, food, wildlife, and traditions of Azerbaijan - from the mysterious ever-burning flames of the Ateshgah fire temple to the bubbling mud volcanoes of Gobustan, from a rare mountain wildflower found nowhere else on Earth to the ancient art of Azerbaijani carpet weaving. Each of the 26 chapters is a substantial, richly detailed exploration of a real subject, written in clear, engaging, age-appropriate language that never talks down to its readers. Packed with real facts, real history, and real wonder - and completely free of filler - this fact book is a perfect companion for young explorers, homeschool learners, classrooms, and any child (or grown-up!) curious about a country too often left off the map.
