Summary "Near the Top of the World: Stories of Norway, Sweden & Denmark" by Nelle E. Moore is a collection of children's stories written in the early 20th century. This engaging work seeks to introduce young readers to the vibrant cultures and everyday lives of children in the Scandinavian countries. The book captures the essence of Nordic life through various perspectives, including tales of local festivities, geography, family traditions, and mythical folklore, all aimed at fostering a sense of global understanding and appreciation among children. The opening of the book establishes a warm invitation to readers, introducing them to the children of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and their unique environments. We are introduced to characters like Kari and Lars in Norway, imaginary encounters with the sun as it returns after long winters, and glimpses of daily activities in Hammerfest, the northernmost town. Through their experiences—greeting the sun, traveling by boat, and enjoying local festivities—young readers are drawn into a richly illustrated world that combines factual information and relatable narratives, designed specifically for a third-grade audience. The foreword highlights the author's intentions to use these stories as educational tools to enhance children’s understanding of cultures different from their own.
