Review: Carole P. Roman, If You Were Me and Lived In (book series)…

We reviewed several books from this serious previously, check it out!

This review we were happy to check out If You Were Me and Lived In Portugal and If You Were Me and Lived in Australia by Carole P. Roman. 

 

In keeping with the original books we read previously, these are great informative stories.  We enjoyed the illustrations and the tidbits of information about each country.  The way they are written makes it interesting for children, since it is at their own level, and comparing to themselves. 

Previously I had mentioned the pronunciations at the end of the book made it difficult to flip back and forth during reading in order to properly pronounce a word.  Now the pronunciations are with the word, making reading a lot more smooth.  There is still a key at the back of the book giving the meaning of the words, as well as pronunciation; I don’t feel this is necessary, but it is nice to have.

We have continent boxes for our kids, each box represents a continent and has trinkets related to those continents.  These books are great additions to our continent boxes!

They are lots of fun to read, eye catching, colorful and keep the kids interest.  They are educational too!  I would recommend for ages 3-8yo. 

These books are available online at www.caroleproman.com or Amazon {aff link}
