I would have the students split up and to pick a country that was mentioned in the book and have them summarize the country’s attributes, and then have the students present their information the class. The teacher could read this book and then have students compare and contrast the different countries.

Along the way the theme is developed by each friend introduces to their country’s environment and customs, and shares interesting facts about their country’s culture, language, food, geography, wildlife, landmarks, and more.
