My Review:
We are no stranger to the author Carole Roman and her books on fascinating places around the world so I was really excited about her latest children's book on the exciting country of Norway. Learning more about Norway was a sheer delight to me because I have always wanted to visit there even as a young child.
Norway is known as "the land of the midnight sun". It is known by this term because for parts of the year the sun shines all day and night. How strange would it be to go to bed and it was still daylight outside? I'm not sure I would enjoy that very much. But I'm sure the people that live there are very much use to it by now.
It would be incredibly awesome to vacation in a snow hotel where the entire building is made out of snow and ice. Something I would love to see is the northern lights. I'm sure or at least in my mind is is a natural, God-given display that is even better than fireworks. The author goes on to describe the food there which makes me want to visit so much more.
**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher.
