I hesitated to buy this book, because of the coverage that seemed simplistic. In fact, this is the most appropriate book my students CP. There is a simple text on each spread that deals on various topics of life in Brazil, including festivals, the school and the kitchen. It it also illustrates a glossary of objects of everyday life in Brazil (page 2 depending on the subject) and a larger image (such as the book cover) about the subject.
The book also represents well the various ethnic groups of Brazil.
