There are lots of colorful pictures and stickers kids would love to stick on the pages they are meant for but this is not very educational. There's just small amounts of information on the various continents. The age group that would enjoy this is probably 7, maximum 8, and under because they'll probably enjoy the stickers and that still provides some incidental learning.
Some geography books can be...what's the word I'm looking for?...mind-numbingly dull. Imports, exports, natural resources - I'm not interested in that stuff *now*, much less when I was a kid! So it was refreshing to flip though Lonely Planet's Adventures Around the Globe. It's not a comprehensive, every-detail-you-never-wanted-to-know-about-a-country book. It's more of a dip-your-toe-in-and-get-a-taste-for-how-different-places-live kind of book. There's no mention of country capitals or population stats or any of that stuff kids usually skip over anyway. What there *is* is interesting facts about different places and the people and animals who live there. Did you know that giraffes only sleep 30 minutes a night - and while standing up? My 6 year old was most interested in the sticker scenes. The stickers were difficult to peel off, but that's a minor complaint about an otherwise awesome book!
We received this book as part of a tour to give an honest review.As a parent I was very impressed with this book, it is filled with a lot of not only cool facts but awesome pictures and activities for the kids to do. So not only are you learning but you are having fun while doing it.K was really excited to read this book and he got very happy when he realized that he could decorate with stickers on some of the pages. You use the stickers to decorate certain places like maybe Venice, or The Great Barrier Reef. When asked what his favorite part was his reply was "everything it is so cool."The recommended age says 3-5 but I would say it would be better for children between 5 on up instead.This is a great book to have and even if you read it once and do all the activities within the book you can always pick it up to read it over. The pictures are awesome and I think this will get kids to want to find out more cool facts and information about the different places within this book.
This was twaddle. I much preferred the Usborne sticker atlas I got my daughter. I wanted something similar for my son and got this but I returned it. The maps are hard to see and the information is scattered and not presented in a way that most people would retain.
Well-suited for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early primary grades, Adventures Around the Globe is filled with activities that reinforce the uniqueness of each continent. From mazes to coloring indigenous masks, finding the differences between geisha costumes to creating a personalized map with 12 pages of 250 removable and reusable stickers (thank you!), there is a lot to keep a youngster busy.Plus, the facts listed on the pages for each region are unique and utterly fascinating. My toddler loves the idea of glowing worms living in caves in New Zealand. This portable paperback is a great item to have on a trip for the educational and entertainment value.Recommended for young children that are interested in learning about the world or those that aren't because after seeing this book, they will be.Note: I recieved a PDF copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
