This is good way that have been adopted to let people know about countries in short with fun, but facts must not be kept aside. For facts, Bible was not the oldest book. One who thinks so must visit India once, the country that gave this world its everything for existence. Bible was not even written when people here in India wrote manuscripts of much more spiritual and scientific experiments.
Lebenon is quite a good and cultural country but the increase in terrorism with the support from converted natives this country left not good enough to visit anymore without prior confirmation. Impact from Syria is too much on this beautiful country. No doubt it is rich with historical studies and wonderful sites.

This is an amazing, stunning, educational children's book, which has beautiful and colourful images, as well as lots of fun facts and information all about life in Lebanon. It is easy to read and nicely set out.

We learn things like what the people there are like, what they eat and what they do for work and leisure, as well as what the landmarks there are like, such as The Rock of Raouche and The Lady of Lebanon (The Virgin Mary).

My daughter and I loved this book, and we highly recommend it to all children and adults who would like to learn more about what life is like in Lebanon.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

Tiny Travelers Lebanon Treasure Quest by Steven Wolfe Pereira and Susie Jaramillo

This adorable book takes you to the country of Lebanon, which I learned is in Asia. The book is definitely geared for younger children as the seek-and-find is very easy. It does have fun facts which would be good for older children. I liked that the book showed different cities and sites around the country, as well as taught you about traditions, foods, and animals. The book also had a pronunciation guide for each word in Arabic. The artwork was so cute! I would definitely recommend this book for younger children, but anyone reading it to them will find something to enjoy as well.

Thank you NetGalley, Steven Wolfe Pereira, Susie Jaramillo, and Encantos (publisher) for allowing me to read this advanced copy of Tiny Travelers Lebanon Treasure Quest. I look forward to reading more books in the Tiny Traveler series!

The places! The foods! The colorful attire! The souks! The history! The caverns! Travel to Lebanon with some great guides and enjoy much of what the country has to offer without leaving home!
The illustrations are busy, brilliant, and fun!
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Encantos Media Studios/Encantos via NetGalley. Thank you!

We really love these Tiny Traveller books. In this book we visit Lebanon and I quickly realized I knew absolutely nothing about Lebanon. I was really happy with this book and the glimpse into a culture that looks is rich and vibrant. We always enjoy these books, it’s incredibly informative and the illustrations are wonderful. We always look forward to reading these and visiting new places. I always recommend these to families of little kids.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

I thought that this was a fabulous book!!

I love the books that are in the Tiny Travelers series, they are some of the best books available to children that want to learn more about other countries and what it is like for other kids around the world. My colleague at work is from Lebanon and he was thrilled to see that there was such a fun kids book that focussed on his home country.

The illustrations in the book are lovely and they read bring the different pages to life. I love the way that the cultural elements are introduced, it is a delightful book all-round

It is five stars from me for this one – very highly recommended and a great way for younger readers to learn about other cultures and countries

Tiny Travelers Lebanon Treasure Quest is a new instalment in the series about country studies. The book has several beautiful and intriguing pictures of the land, food, buildings and culture of this country. There are small and large maps of the country and the world as well as information about the capital, currency, population, culture and food from this region. There are several "did you know" facts as well as detailed descriptions on each page. I think this would be a great non-fiction book for students studying countries. As a grade 3 teacher I could definitely see this book in my classroom library. It is also great to know there are other books in the series! I would recommend this book for teachers and families of children in the 6-10 age range. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this great book!

Well, now I want to go to Lebanon! There were so many beautiful and/or historical places included in this book and I need to see them all. The food looks fantastic and I can't wait to try it some day.

Another great Tiny Travelers book.

While reading this book, I check some stuffs with my Lebanese friend. And from little that I know about the country, I learn more. Their hummus and tabbouleh are my favorite food. But so many more I read and put into my bucket list of this country. One interesting book to read during country lock down like these times.

Very cute series! The book shows a little bit about Lebanon showing food, places, and other cool stuff about the country. It's a interactive book, and very colorful. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Marhaba! What a great series to show kids the beautiful countries of the world. I would have loved these as a kid, especially because this book introduces so many Arabic words. Lebanon is a beautiful country with a long and rich ancient history with ruins. Lebanon is on the Mediterranean Sea and also has lush forests and a mountainous region which is not what I think of when I think of Lebanon. The illustrations are really nice as well. My favorite page was of a bunch of Lebanese dishes on the table that had the dish name, Arabic spelling, and pronunciation on it. Can't wait to visit more countries in this great series!

Thank you to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

I requested this book because I am Lebanese and I have never seen the country portrayed in a children's book! That alone was super exciting for me. I will definitely be purchasing for the future little ones in my life. very educational and will use it to be teaching about our culture! The illustrations were also amazing!

I have previously traveled with these tiny travelers. Each title in this series is engaging and teaches kids about a new location. This time, readers spend time in Lebanon. There are fun facts about things like the country’s capital, the languages spoken there, the population and more. One interesting fact was that in the spring it could be possible to both go skiing and swimming in the sea on the same day.

A further enticement for kids is that there are things to search for in each two page spread. They can see foods, places to visit and more.

I recommend this title and series for young armchair travelers.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
