My daughter's 6th grade class was studying the continent of Africa, and the students were given a country on which to do a visual/oral presentation. She got the Democratic Republic of the Congo - good luck finding kid-friendly materials on this one, either in print or on the web. The school's librarian did her best to provide materials, including books from public libraries, but let's face it, not exactly the topic most libraries are spending resources on.This book was a God-send. It had all the info she was required to report about: five themes of geography stuff, culture, foods, population, kid-friendly history (no specifics about the true human rights horrors going on, but was honest). There are loads of color photos, etc. It wasn't written in that simplistic voice you get in so many of these books, but wasn't over their heads either, as many of the websites intended for older students/adults are.If your kid needs info on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (not to be confused with the Republic of the Congo), or needs to do a report on any African country, I'd recommend this book
