Bursting with spectacular full-color photographs that capture the country's rich culture and natural beauty, this alphabetical photo-journey through China is an outstanding young person's introduction to this immense and historic nation.

This entire series presents beautifully illustrated (photographic) overviews of the cultural realities of modern day life in the country named in the title. Each volume contains an "author's note" giving an introduction to the country in question, then for each letter, A-Z, there is a brief paragraph describing some aspect of the culture. Fascinating content, for example, in "C is for China": A for the use of Abacuses, H for Herbal Medicine, etc. Great jumping-off points for further reading and research on the country. Great for seeding the imagination with concrete images of real people, to help make map-studies come alive, and to help inspire travel planning. Nothing at all even remotely violent or dramatic, either emotionally, socially, or physically, so a very safe choice for highly sensitive young readers (like my sensitive just-turned-4-year-old son). Highly recommended. I only wish they had more countries in the series.… (plus d'informations)

It is not narritive and I would not reccommend this story to children because they would lose interest in the story.

"From Abacus to Lantern, from Jade to Wenzi, this photographic alphabet book introduces young readers to the rich culture and natural beauty of China. Sungwan So’s colorful variety of images explore the country’s customs ancient and modern, illustrating not only the hubbub of street life in the cities, but also the rhythms of day-to-day life in rural areas. Beautiful photographs feature scenes of old men drinking tea on the street, a little boy learning to draw in the ink-and-wash technique shuimohua, natives in textured tapestries selling food at a market, and more. Both entertaining and educational, C Is for China pays tribute to one of the world’s great cultures."
