India
The title of the book is India. It was written by Marilynn G. Barr. The illustrator and picture researcher is Jaimie Holl. It was published by Lorenz Educational Press in 2003. The genre is non- fiction. It includes 48 pages to read. This book is about the country India in Asia. The main idea is to tell you about many different features of India for example landscapes, climate and weather, natural resources, population, daily life, rules, laws , food, farming, trade and industry, transportation, and the environment etc. It also includes glossary, world map, India map and its regions at the back. I learned that India is the name given by the British which was previously known by the name Bharat. The origin of the name India is from Indus River. Thus British started calling Bharat as India. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with well over one billion people, and the world's most populous democracy. The Taj Mahal was built between 1632 and 1653 by the Mughal Empire. It was the emperor Shah Jahan's monument to his wife Mumtaz Mahal. I also learned that the geographic size of India is 1.2 million square miles. The Capital is New Delhi. The major cities and population and most population are New Delhi, (7 million), Bombay (13 million), Calcutta (11 million), Madras (6 million), Bangalore and Kanpur. The Himalayan Mountains separate India from much of the rest of Asia and China. The Himalayas have many of the tallest mountains in the world. The tallest mountain in India is the Kanchenjunga at 28, 208 feet. I would recommend this book to everyone specifically to people who love to learn about other countries . This book of India is really informational and is packed with diagrams, photographs , graphs and maps. Together with detailed and well- written text , they provide a comprehensive account on every page. I would rate
