Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this eCopy to review

From the moment I opened "Amazing Asia," I was immediately drawn into the vibrant and diverse world of the largest continent on Earth.

Sirdeshpande has crafted a beautifully illustrated and fact-filled encyclopaedia that celebrates Asia in all its splendour. The book is divided into sections covering East, West, North, Central, South, and South East Asia, each with its own highly illustrated regional map and fascinating facts.

The content spans from the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation to contemporary cultural references, making it a comprehensive and engaging read.

Jason Lyon's stunning illustrations, with their clever colour gradients and characterful drawings, bring the pages to life.

The book strikes a perfect balance between historical information and modern-day insights, making it an excellent resource for both children and adults.

"Amazing Asia" is a must-have for anyone looking to explore the rich tapestry of Asian culture, history, and geography.

Gorgeous, ambitious, meticulous and mind-boggling, this is my favourite sort of children's non-fiction! It covers an incredibly diverse continent in a simple yet rich and engaging way. And with its warm illustrations, I'm sure the hard copy will be even more breathtaking. Perfect for kids – and adults – who enjoy discovering cool facts about places, cultures and people across the world!

Amazing Asia An Encyclopedia Of An Epic Continent, written by Rashmi Sirdeshpande and illustrated by Jason Lyon, is a brilliant encyclopedia featuring information about the people, culture, history, wildlife, landscapes, sights and famous people of each region of Asia. The in-depth and accessible information within this book, along with the stunning illustrations, make for a brilliant addition to any bookshelf. Books about Asia are very rare, so this book is a must read for children and adults alike! I would recommend this book to all key stage two and three classrooms.

Can't wait for my preordered print copy to arrive! The grands will have to wait til January for me to share it with them. I loved all the visuals (but my eyesight sabotaged my reading of the smaller print information in E format), complete with maps, famous persons, all sorts of costumes, and more. Fantastic!
The illustrations by Jason Lyon are extravagant, complex, and brilliantly colorful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of ANY age including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school or your local public library!
I requested and received a temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Quarto Publishing Group/Wide Eyed Editions via NetGalley. Thank you!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for my copy of Amazing Asia An Encyclopedia of an Epic Continent by Rashmi Sirdeshpande in exchange for an honest review. It publishes October 1, 2024.
Wow! As a homeschooling mom, this book in such an amazing resource! The illustrations are so beautiful, and it's chock full of great information, but not too much information to overwhelm a child. I highly recommend this one!

Do you know a child who might like to know more about the many countries that make up Asia? Would they like books with maps, photos and a nice layout? Are they interested in history, people, culture, food, wildlife, sights, the past and future of this continent? And, this book has even more.

If they (or you) can answer yes to some (or all) of the above, this book is an excellent resource. It is organized by geographic areas, for example, South Asia or West Asia, etc. and packed with information.

This book would make a fantastic addition to a home or school library.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

The books seems to have a rather obvious political agenda. I really am a bit lost for words on this one.

This is very informative and aesthetically pleasing. It has a nice warm format and feels almost like it takes you on a journey. It is both kid and adult friendly and I feel like I learned a lot

Best read in print (I cannot wait), this is a child-friendly, appropriate and rich non-fiction book on Asia.
It is also a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the continent. The content is rich and engagingly presented.
The colour schemes are all warm, which I found a bit tiring. Though the art style is beautiful and I am sure this will be a more magical experience when we read the print book. I often read Quarto books knowing when I get the print copies, I will be mesmerised more. And this book is no exception. A good addition to school libraries.
