This American book gives good factual information on a range of topics relating to Iceland - history, geography, contemporary life etc. There is at least one picture or photo on each page. There is also an index and a glossary. However the book doesn't have very high standards of publishing which I found a bit disappointing. There is more than one typing mistake and the layout doesn't meet the standards you would expect. The cover is barely thicker than the pages. The text is large. The content seems suitable for age 7 or 8+ to me.
