Synopsis: |
With more than 115 years exploring the globe with its writers, photographers, and research expeditions, National Geographic is uniquely positioned to introduce young readers to everything they need to know about the countries of the world. In this book, children will visit the bustling, noisy, modern Jewish homeland of Israel, and explore its contentious history since its creation in 1948. They will walk the streets of Jerusalem, holy city of three religions, and of Bethlehem, birthplace of Christ. They will learn of the unique Israeli social experiment with the Kibbutz, and study the context of Israel's embattled place on the Middle East map. A special website directory offers report writers authenticated sources for flags, national anthems, time differences, current weather and climate, and currency conversion. |
