Children's Literature
This entry in the "Globe Trotters Club" series presents the people, geography, society, economy, history, and culture of Vietnam. While sharing the same pictures, format, and maps with "A Ticket to Vietnam," it appeals to an older audience with a denser text and more complex presentations of ideas. Readers may investigate the tropical climate which produces rice, bananas, and plenty of bamboo used for furniture, tools and many other things. Vietnamese holidays, religions, clothes, typical foods, music, puppetry and other entertainment are mentioned. A section on history includes a discussion of the multicultural blends of Chinese, French, and ethnic Vietnamese and a discussion of the war between the North and South and a mention of Communism. The book presents an adequate and interesting overview of the country with a glossary, pronunciation guide, and index to assist with students undertaking research.
