The Seven Storv Week, by Doris L White. Whitcombe and Tombs Ltd. 79 pp. During a social studies lesson the teacher realised that he had lost the interest of the class and so the class held a meeting to discuss the matter. They all agreed that they were tired of hearing about the United Nations, but when the teacher pointed out that the class itself was a small “united nations" their interest was aroused again, and so the children from Ireland. England. Wales, Holland. Jugoslavia. India. and Chjna told stories from their countries and here they are. Seven good stories well-set in an atmosphere familiar to 8 to 12-year-old readers and no doubt equally welcome to them and all teachers of social studies.
