These books are great additions to geography or cultural studies, as well as being just plain interesting. Travel with Sleeping Bear Press around the globe with these new editions to the series:

First, travel south to the land down under with D is for Down Under: An Australia Alphabet
Travel just a little further north with D is for Dala Horse: A Nordic Countries Alphabet

I should point out that the first page of each of these books contains a map so that you can easily find these countries on a globe. In D is for Dala Horse
Lastly, for the romantics out there we have E is for Eiffel Tower: A France Alphabet.

(Personally, I think this would be a fun book to hand over to someone going to France.)
We open with our map, of course, and situate where France is in Europe. Then we travel in, visiting Amphitheaters, the Chartres Cathedral, and Utah Beach. Of course, we meet up with the likes of Victor Hugo, Napoleon Bonaparte, and the lovely Mona Lisa. At the back of this book there is a list of "good-to-know" phrases along with phonetic spellings so you can learn how to say things like, "It's nice to meet you" and "How much does this cost?" This is a cute, fun book and a nice addition to the line-up.

These sound like wonderful books! They're definitely going on my "To Buy" list--maybe as Christmas gifts.
Oh these seem like wonderful books. I especially like the look of the Nordic one being from Sweden :D
Can I just put the whole Sleeping Bear list on my kid's Christmas list? :)
Love, love, love Sleeping Bear Press!! We're planning a road trip to the Chattanooga area, I wonder if they have any books for that city? ;) The Texas cousins might need a Texas book for Christmas as well.
