We received this book to give an honest review.

I have heard a lot about Germany so to be able to share a bit of the culture with my son was pretty neat. K thought it was neat on some of the names that you could have been named if you lived in Germany because he has friends with some of the name but they are not spelled the same. He also liked Oktoberfest and thought it would be neat for us to go to it. 

I have to say my favorite part is where you learn 5 important facts about Germany! There were some things I didn't know before. 

This is a great learning book and K and I always have fun trying to pronounce the names of certain words that describe food or places to see. 

This is a great book to keep not only at home but also in the classrooms or library.
