These tiny books are packed with info, albeit sometimes a little dully. Great for reports, general information, and geography unit studies. Lots of photos of many aspects of the cultures. They came with a kit that you were suppose to solve where a person had gone by reading the books and gathering clues. I don't have that part of it, but it would easiest enough to duplicate on your own.
