Interesting and well done I got this book as both an ABC book and as an informational book for my Guatemalan-born kids. Overall, I find it interesting and well done.The thing that keeps me from giving it 5-stars is that it gives phonetic spellings for words like "Hola" and "tortilla" but not "Kinich Ahau" or "Tikal". That would have been helpful!It is written for an older child, but we will use it as an ABC book until the kids can read it themselves.. Five Stars Amazon Customer Great quality colors and pictures.. "introduce your children to Guatemala!" according to G. pickering. As a mother to 5 Guatemalan children we found this book a great way to introduce children to Guatemala. Simple format and illustrations provided a good starting point for further talks about our children's culture and history.
