This colorful little book is a helpful guide for youngsters who want to learn more about France. With this book, children will learn France's capital, geographic location, and popular monuments. Readers will also learn popular terms, such as currency, boys' names, girls' names, places of shopping, sports, and more. At the back of the book is a guide for how to phonetically pronounce said French words. In terms of cultural diversity, this book is great at promoting racial tolerance and friendship. I also liked how the illustrations included different types of people in France. Not everyone looked the same, and there were even black people. The fact that not everyone in a different country looks the same is a lesson children should learn early on. In one part of the book that addresses France's independence, there is a drawing with soldiers holding guns. Whether or not adults like that is up to them, and they may use their own discretion. However, the soldiers are marching and not shooting anyone in the picture. Speaking of illustrations, I liked the use of graphics for the little girl's shirt in this book.
