Shirley J. Juvenile Geographical Account All things Panama
Panama: Enchantment of the World by Jean F. Blashfield 144 pages
Really good book on the country's history, culture, people, the Canal and so much more. It talks about the shrinking rain forest area, the local animals, local customs. It tells what it is like to live there, to work there and how it was sectioned off during the time many U.S. citizens came there to work on the canal and the U.S. military presence that was strong there at one time and caused many protests and uprisings wanting Americans to get out of their country. Today it is a vacation destination and American dollars are very welcome to their thriving economy.
