Review Quotes:
Appreciation for Thailand's heritage will quickly follow the reading of this book. -- Kirkus

Review Quotes:
All About Thailand really is all about the country complete with some great recipes, a few fun games, and craft ideas, and I love this series. I wish they had books like this for all of the countries of the world. I would spend those hundreds of dollars to get these books...Also confession, I did not bother with going to the library for more books because I love this one so much. -- Adventures in Mommydom blog

Review Quotes:
The All About Asia series is the children's version of a folklore handbook, a user-friendly encyclopedia, a DIY manual for experiencing an Asian country's culture from a youth's point of view. -- AsianFortuneNews.com

Review Quotes:
This book has a bit of everything in it. There are recipes to try as well as crafts to make. It is full of so much information and is a wonderful introduction to Thailand for any child. This book (and series) is perfect for any classroom that studies the various countries of Asia. It has a bit of everything from history to modern times as well as how children spend their free time. -- Crafty Moms Share blog

Review Quotes:
There's so much contained within the 64 pages of this hard-cover book it would be crazy to attempt to digest it all at once! -- CastleViewAcademy.com

Review Quotes:
Older children will love All About Thailand: Stories, Songs, Crafts and Games for Kids. It is packed with all kinds of fun learning activities about Thailand, from stories and songs to recipes and games. Kids can practice speaking a few words of Thai, learn more about elephants, or make their own shadow puppets! This is one my son really enjoys reading, and that I steal from my kids' room to read for myself! Would also be perfect for the classroom or a homeschool unit. -- AllDoneMonkey.com

Review Quotes:
The pictures are very cute and colorful. I like Thai games because they are very fun. It is very interesting to see the Indian epic Ramayanam in Thailand, where it is called Ramakien. These are the reasons why I like All About Thailand. -- Roshini, Age 7, KidsBookBuzz.com

Review Quotes:
Cheerful contemporary illustrations depicting smiling rice-pickers and rosy-cheeked street-food vendors are inviting but cast an overly idyllic charm that will leave readers erroneously convinced that Thailand is, above all, a tropical paradise. -- Booklist
