I've used this book with my grandkids visiting Montana. This is a little stretch for 8 year olds, but can become a game with an adult. Interested older kids will find it doable, especially if you can show them actual topographical maps that you use hiking. A great start to making kids aware of, and users of, maps.
This book has lots of great info for mid-elementary age students. I love it and so do my kids. We will learn a lot about geography and map-reading this semester.
