The front cover of this book has a large pop-out map of the world with the continents and individual countries labeled. On the same map are the flags of each country. This is colorfully done and very interesting.The rest of the book was as impressive as the pop-up map. Each continent is written in easy to read text with interesting facts. There are fold out maps that label important points of interest. All the measurements are written in our U.S. standard and metric. There are beautiful photographs that accompany each page. An interesting small section is labeled "must see". It lists the places , events, areas that a traveler needs to make sure they visit. I feel there are hours and hours of learning in this atlas , not only for children but for their parents too.*I received this for review - all opinions are my own*
I loved looking through this. The kids thought it was cool. I guess I was misled in thinking a lot of pages fold out, I was thinking 3-d but in reality only a couple pages actually fold open. THe great thing about this book is that it is really colorful and packed with a lot of interesting facts. I think the kids will really get a great use out of it.
This is a great kids atlas. The pictures make it interesting for kids to see what landmarks or customs are associated with different countries and prompt questions. I move from page to page with my 3 and 6 year old and read about countries we've gone to or would like to go to, we look at the pop-out world map and see how far we are from those countries right now. They both love looking at this as much as their storybooks. The pages are thick and sturdy but not toddler proof.
It took us a few minutes to figure out that the pop up map in the front was glued to the cover and needed a little help unsticking but other than that this book is amazing. I got it for my 9 year old for Christmas and all the family loved it. We can't wait to sit down and discover all the things the world has to offer that we didn't know about.
This was a gift, so I am not sure how it has been received. However, the recipient has become very interested in details about the nations of the world, and I think that this book contains an ample supply of information that will suit her widening interest in geography.
The fold outs were not as amazing as I had hoped they'd be.
Really like this Atlas for my grandson,refreshing my memory as well!!!
I gave it as a gift. It's a good informative book with 56 pages
