Exploring Norway through Art

I purchased this book for my children to familiarize them with Norway prior to the arrival of our Norwegian nanny. They loved the book, as it not only taught them about the country, but also allowed them the opportunity to explore the subject through art. Immediately, they drew the traditional costumes, currency, various landmarks and flora & fauna. It has been a month and the book still has their interest & attention. They continue to go back and re-read it and cross reference it and draw pictures. Our children are very strong readers and avid artists at age 7, so this book was ideal for them. If your young child is not a strong reader, it may be too advanced for them. I would say the age range is probably from 9 to teenage, though even as an adult, I learned a great deal from this book.
