A cute book of maps from around the world that introduces children to countries and their famous landmarks, customs, and more! I really like the way this was laid out in terms of the maps with illustrations of landmarks and main features. I do think that there was a weird order in the middle where it went to Africa then back to Asia in terms of countries covered (but that seems like maybe it was just a mistake). I think it could have been a cute addition to add continent maps in between to clearly mark sections. But besides that, really cute and a great way to introduce young kids to the wider world!
I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a beautiful read, full of so many facts across the world, I will definitely use it when I go on holiday next.
This is the perfect combination of beautiful illustrations and detailed information about maps across the world. Adults and children will both learn lots in reading this book.
I love a good map. I’ve lost track of time exploring the world on Google Earth since travel is not always an immediate option. This book is full of maps with fantastic, fun illustrations of famous people, places and important dates and facts about 50 countries. This book would be a perfect book for kids. I think they would enjoy it while they are young and then grow into it to be able to read the information. I think I’ll buy a print copy of it because I love the maps and illustrations.
Thank you for an advanced copy, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions.
I love maps, and I loved the idea of this book where you can learn about different areas of the world by seeing their most important landmarks and historical events with a map. However, the design made it so difficult to tell what was supposed to be where. There was a wealth of information, but it was almost random because of the design.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
Wow this book is jam packed with information! As a homeschool mom, I’m always looking for ways to make social studies a fun subject! This book is a great addition to our homeschool library! The illustrations are perfect and the information can be broken down into bite size portions! One country a week would be perfect! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This book is gorgeous, informative, and interesting! The colors and illustrations are engaging. There is a wonderful range of countries representing every corner of the planet. I love the way they teach a little bit of history (Moments to Remember), geography, culture and everything in between with details and interesting facts about the country, the people, and their history. Definitely a must-have for our home library!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced digital reader's copy (ARC) in exchange for an honest review!
I was given a digital copy of this book as an ARC. That being said I will be purchasing a hardback copy for my family library.
This book has excellent illustrations and information about each country. My 10 year old found it interesting and I did as well. This book is a good reference for any home library.
I've loved maps sińce I was a kid. All those hours looking at them, dreaming. My ever-worring mom must regret bringing home some of them now, when I tell her about a new upcoming adventure.
Either way, I would have loved it as a kid, and I loved it now.
Good job on not only listing the most obvious tourist places!
