  This series gives young children a simple introduction to geography. Each book introduces a country through a series of topics such as weather, farming, homes and food. The topics are accompanied by short interviews with children from different backgrounds and parts of the country who talk about their own experiences. This book provides a first impression of India, as seen through the eyes of some of its young inhabitants. Indian children describe their schools, homes, food, pastimes and religion to give a picture of this fascinating country. Interviews with the children accompany an easy-to-read main text covering a range of geography topics. Readers learn about the great diversity of India - its droughts and monsoon floods, its farming and industry, and the many different religions and cultures. Children are then encouraged to think about their own country in the light of what they have learnt.
