This multicultural activity book celebrates the myriad cultures of Mexico and Central America (Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama) and their shared ancient Aztec and Mayan roots. For each country, a brief introduction includes illustrated maps and facts about population and geography. Engaging sidebars throughout introduce kids to the Spanish language. More than 40 projects and three dramatic play scripts explore the interconnectedness of these countries and help children experience aspects of daily life throughout the region including school, work, home, art and poetry, food and agriculture, and special holidays.
