Summary: | The past three decades have seen the United States increasingly involved in the affairs of countries in all parts of the globe. Americans have become familiar with places which, as schoolchildren, they never even knew existed. The end of American isolation has resulted in a spate of juvenile literature admirably suited to encourage children to know and understand the larger world in which they live. Teachers and librarians must, of necessity, be leaders in this endeavor. It is hoped this book will make their task easier.
