My opinion:

I read You Rule! Create Your Own Country to my daughter and we loved it. There are so many ideas to help you decide everything about your country and some fun quizzes too. The book is set up in little sections with plenty of pictures that made it easier to read and for my daughter to ask questions and tell me her plans/ideas for her country.

I loved that this book is fun and educational at the same time.  We learned some really cool things about different countries. We still haven't done the activities but my daughter can't wait to draw a map of her country, make a flag, and so much more! I wish I had found books like this one when I was in elementary. My daughter loved it and so did I so we give this book 5 stars!
