Gr 3-5This overview describes the land, culture, and people of Yucatán, Mexico. Following the format of other entries in the series, Staub focuses on the lives of individual children and highlights the architecture and history of the Maya. He makes it clear that Mayan children have immense pride and respect for their ancestors' accomplishments and way of life. Parallels to American culture can be seen in the young people's love of baseball and rock music. The beautiful, full-color photographs invite readers to explore the text in more detail. The index and fact box are helpful.Maria Redburn, Irving Public Library, TX (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
