This guide looks at the country's history, including the years of strict communist government and some of the great changes that have been taking place over the last 20 years of the 20th century. The book is packed full of information about China, from an economic and human perspective.

From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-4-These titles highlight elementary students and their families in their respective countries. They show major cities and the child's village or city on a full-page map, and then give a general overview of the land features and weather patterns. Through full-color photographs and direct quotes, readers are given a glimpse of the child's home life, school, and activities. Each title has a recipe, a one-page index, and useful addresses for embassies and offices of tourism. While the information is limited, these books can be combined with titles from the "Postcards from-" and "Food and Festivals" series (both RSVP) for country studies.
