Children's book about Spain??
I'll be leaving for Spain in three weeks with my 8 year old daughter and wanted to get her a book or two about Spain, Spanish culture, etc. We've been learning Spanish together and she has a few Spanish language books already. I've looked at amazon but most of the books have little or no description and no reviews, so I thought someone here might have a recommendation or two. Thanks!

Well, they don't call me The Bookchick for nothin'!
Spain the People (ISBN 0778793656), Spain In the Age of Exploration (ISBN 0761403035), Spain The Culture (0778797341), Spain The Land (ISBN 0778797325)are all written for children, and the author Noa Lior is quite an expert on Spain for children.
Getting To Know Spain (ISBN 0844276278) may be a little advanced for her, but if she ahead of her grade level in reading, it may be just right. I think Look What Came From Spain (ISBN 0531166295) would be fun, as it furnishes insight into both Spanish history and culture without citing a bunch of dates and facts that might be boring and/or overwhelming.
For fiction, just for fun, she may want to try With Love From Spain, Melanie Martin (ISBN 0375826467), Royal Diaries Isabel (ISBN 0439078059), Shadow of a Bull (ISBN 0689715676), I, Juan De Pareja (ISBN 0374435251).
Best wishes, and I hope you folks enjoy your trip!
