Books in this series have detailed maps on the end-pages – a large country map in the front and the country’s location in Europe in the back.  The land that is known as Romania has had a wide and varied history.  Several periods of various ruling countries or people are covered in brief paragraphs.  The text, in this book of the series, is dry and captions for some photographs need further explanation.  Conversation bubbles appear to be a flimsy attempt at humor and seem out of place.   The series includes chapters on history, cities and towns, transportation, people and culture, education, cuisine, economy, tourism and nature.  This is an additional resource for writing country reports.  The quality of each book in the series is inconsistent, however, each provides sufficient information for grade school reports.
