This second title in the "Pascual the Dragon Discovers the World" collection maintains the interactive and didactic focus that characterizes the series. The combination of first-person narration and questions to the reader makes it a useful tool for parents and educators who want to introduce children to the knowledge of other cultures in a playful way.
