Wikijunior:Europe
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
Europe is one of the world's smallest but richest continents. It's home to about 710 million people, hundreds of languages, a variety of climates and culture.
Wikijunior Europe is a book for kids about the countries of Europe. This book will give you the basic facts about the country, its people, its geography and its history and other useful facts. This book is currently being created so feel free to make an input. If you have any other ideas for this project then go ahead and do it or talk about it in the discussion page.

[edit] Sections that will appear in every country page are:
- Introduction (name, neighbours, capital city, other cities, currency, EU membership)
- History of the country (brief but mentioning important events)
- Geography of the country (mountains, lakes, size, rivers)
- People of the country (nationalities, languages, religions)
- Sights of the country (tourist attractions, landmarks)
Each country page should ideally include a map showing the country's location within Europe, an image showing the country's flag and one or two photographs of sights or landmarks within the country. When mentioning other countries in the country page please provide a link to the country page and also provide links to Wikipedia articles for the capital city, currency and any other topics of major interest. An external link to the main Wikipedia article should be added to the bottom of every page. If you're copying text from other sources (e.g. the main Wikipedia article) please only copy the most important information and simplify the language so it's easily understood by the readers of this book. Feel free to add other information (i.e. food, climate, sport, etc.) if you wish.

[edit] Further Reading
This Wikijunior book is intended for kids but we hope it can be of use for anyone. If you want to read into these topics further visit the Europe and The EU pages on Wikipedia. Links for further reading should be added in the individual country pages so that readers can find out more about the capital cities, the language, etc.
