My First Book Of Social Studies For Class - 5

The series of books on Social Studies needs continuous upgradation as there have been non-stop changes in the social and political structure. Besides, there are innumerable sources where a child can gather information, especially through the Internet facility which is accessible to a child of almost every age. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the nature and the quality of information available to the child. Most of the topics have changed in this context.

The main features of the book are as follows:

1. The language used in the book is lucid and simple with updated information on the social and political structure of the current age.

2. The books are largely based on Environmental Topics and there are a number of small activities including 'Student Page' and 'Question Time' for recapitulation and revision of the subject matter.
