Ireland

These volumes explore the lives of children from countries around the world, by way of their correspondence with a pen-pal. The children introduce their families and describe their everyday activities. In doing so, they allow the reader to understand something of the geography of the title nation, as well as the food, education system, leisure activities and types of employment available to its inhabitants.
Suitable for 4-8 year olds.

Find out what it’s like to live in Ireland by reading Sinead’s letters. She’ll introduce you to her family, take you to her school and show you how to make Irish brown soda bread following her grandmother’s recipe.
