Korat, Our Hometown
Korat, Our Hometown is a documentary book whose illustrations are spec-tacular. The content suits the interests of fourth to sixth graders. Pictures play the key role of conveying the message and encouraging the readers to find out more. Korat, Our Hometown is not meant to be an encyclopedia, but it aims to create a sense of fun which will eventually bring the readers to the more difficult documentary books.
The book is divided into short episodes. For example, the Gateway to lsaan tells Korat's story. The other episodes are Volcanoes and Living Dinosaurs, the River of Life, Isaan in the Past, Ya Mo City, Making a Living in Isaan, Salt Farms in Isaan, Cloth Weaving in Isaan, Stone Castles in Isaan, and Our Heartwarming Traditions. Each episode is simple and straightforward yet different from ordinary documentary books.
Korat, Our Hometown is suitable for kids who are old enough to read by themselves. Preeda Panyajan, the illustrator, included some gags in the stories. The kids will enjoy reading as well as gazing at the pictures.
