This book covers the history, government, economy, and major cities such as Bucharest, Constanta, and Iasi of this eastern European country. Full-color photos and engaging, easy-to-read text allow readers to explore Romania's land, plants and animals, climate, housing, language, religions, culture, and people. Landforms such as the Carpathian Mountains, Romania's largest land region, Transylvania, and the importance of the Danube River are covered. Romania's education system, foods, and folk arts such as woven carpets, pottery, decorative Easter eggs, and painted glass are explained. Important architecture includes the Palace of Parliament and Bran Castle. Key musical instruments such as the cobza and tambal are introduced, as is Romania's famous gymnast, Nadia Comaneci. A Fast Facts section, a graphic timeline, a recipe, and an index provide readers with important information. Helpful glossary terms and phonetics simplify challenging language.
