The original Atlas of Adventures, but in resource-saving smaller size. If you don't know these books, a (generally slightly cartoonish) spread is peppered with factoids, so you can sort of build up some useful knowledge about Lapland, London or Louisiana paddle-wheelers. It's fun and engaging, even if it isn't strictly speaking a geography lesson – but it will show you that all the world is full of the interesting titbit of trivia, if nothing else.

Atlas of Adventures: Travel Edition by Lucy Letherland is a beautifully illustrated book filled with intriguing facts about locations around the globe. A perfect book to peak children’s interest in travel adventures. The book divides the globe into regions with specific locations given detailed two pages spreads highlighting adventures, traditions, festivals and interesting facts. It is a book children will want to pick up again and again, either to play the fun “search and find” activities or simply learn more cool facts about one of the highlighted locations. Overall a fun book for elementary and early middle school aged children.

This is a really cute atlas for children with great illustrations and lots of fun facts about the different countries.

This is a fantastic addition to a world geography and cultural study unit, especially for your-mid elementary school age students. As a homeschooler, this could easily be one of the foundational books I could use in our "around the world" studies.

The way the book is organized makes it easy to find the adventures and see how close/far different events are from one another. There is also a nice collection from each region, so lots of different cultures and areas can be studied. There is enough information on each page to get the general idea of each place/event, but still leave it open for further study as students are interested. I also like how the pages are set up with bright pictures, and little notes so there isn't just a big wall of sometimes intimidating to students) texts.

This is a book I will definitely be picking up for our homeschool, recommending to our local homeschool group, and library. A lot of secular homeschool curricula focus their kindergarten year on around the world, so I will be sharing this with those creators and homeschool groups as well.
