"All about Thailand takes you on an incredible journey to exotic Thailand, where a modern culture thrives in one of the world's most ancient countries. Your guides in this adventure are Mali, a 9-year-old girl from the countryside, and Tawan, an 11-year old boy from Bangkok. Travel with them as they explore their land and share its fascinating wildlife, beautiful handcrafts, sports, games, celebrations and, of course, great Thai food!"--Dust jacket
