This excellent first atlas is a great way to give children a sense of the lands and countries that make up our world. Bright, child-friendly maps show the different countries within their continents and indicate too their position on the globe. Alongside the major cities and sights are quirky details and facts, such as illustrations of local wildlife, people or interesting buildings. The text is simple and effective, e.g. ‘The Equator is a line added to maps to show where the middles of the world is’, and there’s a vast amount of information conveyed in just 32 pages. ~ Andrea Reece
A fantastic atlas to help children learn about the countries of the world, the most famous and interesting sites, and also each country's flag and fascinating world records. A brilliant introduction to geography, capital cities and world landmarks ranging from the statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
