Iran is a country that offers many interesting features and facts. The nation's tallest mountain, Mount Damavand, is a dormant volcano. Many forms of wildlife are found in Iran including wild boars, gazelles, Persian leopards, and golden jackals. One may not be aware that golden jackals are a variety of wild dogs. More than 60% of the people in Iran live in cities, where the work week begins on Saturday. In Iran, both boys and girls attend separate schools and wrestling is the national sport, although soccer is widely popular as well. This book is part of the "Blastoff! Readers" series. Each nonfiction title includes a table of contents, an index, a glossary, and a page referencing web sites about Iran. The glossy pages in the book offer crisp photographs and bold font, making this an easy read for children eight to twelve. A subject header is provided on the top of each page, making it clear what is discussed in the paragraphs below. This level 5 book will make a nice addition in an upper elementary social studies, science, or geography classroom. Reviewer: Cheryl Williams Chang
