Julia Eccleshare - Across the 25 hand drawn maps in this large format book the world in shown in many different ways. These include familiar maps such as one of the whole of Europe as well as surprising and fascinating ones showing different features of countries. Food and where it comes from features in many, including very vividly in the map of Poland. Alongside food, the wildlife – especially the animals - of different countries is shown. A beautifully produced book to look at again and again.

Reviews
, particularly for young children. This book would have been very welcome at my school last term when Iceland was included in the Year 1 topic of Around the World!
-led, and being a joy for children and adult design-lovers alike. * Cotswold Life * While we have a lot of books in our house, we realised recently that we didn't have a lot of reference books. As children, we both loved stumbling across a book too heavy to even lift, let alone open and read; a book full of facts and numbers; a book whose story you discovered through its ideas rather than its prose. So, when we both laid eyes on Maps by Aleksandra and Daniel Mizielinski, we got really excited. Sure enough, it's a huge book that has little to no chance of ever fitting on a bookshelf and it is full of facts beautifully presented. Every turn of the page presents a new country and a whole set of stories. The book invites you to 'Travel the globe without leaving your living room'. That is not a boast; you really get a strong sense of each country and feel like you've really been on a journey if you read it cover to cover. As book lovers, we often experience the feeling of traveling without leaving a room. Books have the wonderful ability to transport you all around the world and beyond. What makes Maps so special, aside from its fantastic and unique illustrations and fun and quirky facts, is the sheer atmosphere it creates and the feeling of discovery you get from turning its pages. Maps is a truly one-of-a-kind reference book for all ages and I urge you to take the trip to your local bookstore, and then sit back and travel the globe...from your couch! -- Daniel Morrfew * Fable Patch Tree * Much more than an ordinary atlas, this book of maps is a visual feast for readers of all ages, with lavishly drawn illustrations from the incomparable Mizielinskis. It features not only borders, cities, rivers, and peaks, but also places of historical and cultural interest, eminent personalities, iconic animals and plants, cultural events and many more fascinating facts associated with every region of our planet. * Scottish Book Trust * This is a book I coveted as soon as I clapped eyes on it... The illustrations are engrossing with the right amount of detail (avoiding information overkill). It is a book that invites you to brood, browse - and travel. -- Kate Kellaway * The Guardian * A great first atlas for kids... * Lonely Planet Traveller *
