Editorial reviews

Guiding children through Mexico's rich and varied landscape, performer Leah Vandenberg visits vast deserts, tropical jungles, glistening beaches, majestic mountains, and dense cityscapes. Along the way, the sprightly Aussie television actress introduces La Republica's people and traditions. From the spectacular Aztec pyramids of antiquity to the sprawling bustle of modern-day Mexico City, young listeners will learn about the history of the world's 14th largest nation. Vandenberg presents a frank assessment of the country's struggles with poverty, wealth inequality, overcrowding, and pollution, while nevertheless finding cause for optimism in Mexico's economic growth in the new millennium. Fetchingly upbeat and well-paced throughout the proceedings, Vandenberg offers a colorful cultural survey sure to capture the intellects and imaginations of young audiences.

Nice quick introduction to Mexico

Nice quick introduction to Mexico, Mexican history, culture and a general overview. It would be good to know more and probably to travel to Mexico someday.
