Our Wonderful World

I need this book! This book contains a beautifully drawn map of 50 countries with a lot of added information like landmarks, famous people or facts.
The truth is that I didn't read everything in this book. I started to read every little fact but after 10 pages I realized that I am not interested in every fact. After that, I just checked quickly evert country, which are the spotlights and if I was interested in that country, I read the information. In my view, this book needs to be on a shelf, and if I am interested in a country or planning a visit, just read thought the information.
My favourite part was the maps with the landmarks. I want to visit everything which was highlighted in this book.
The facts weren't boring, but I wasn't interested to read them. I really loved the idea of a book, full of beautifully illustrated maps. I will definitely buy it after the release.

This is brilliant! This is a must have book for anyone who loves learning facts about the world. I especially liked the Moments To Remember sections as well as the Key Facts. The font is easy to read and interesting and the illustrations are great too. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Our Wonderful World is a great book for little ones! It takes us through 57 countries from the world. The little readers will learn about people, places, history, flags, map, flora and fauna, languages etc. from the countries mentioned.

It is full of fun facts and shorts description which makes it a very interesting and engrossing read.

It is fully engaging and the illustrations make it even more attractive. Perfect for readers of any age. Definitely recommend.

Thank you NetGalley, Wide Eyed Editions and Quarto for an e ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Our Wonderful World is another fabulous title published by Wide Eyed Editions. Readers can take a journey through fifty-seven countries of the world where they can learn all about the history, people, places and delight in the sights, sounds and smells that make countries unique. Author duo Ben Handicott and Kalya Rya are experienced explorers and their love and passion for travelling shines through in this detailed and delightful read.

Presented over fifty double page spreads, this is a fact-filled feast that brings the countries of the world alive. There is so much to look at and learn about and it will surely inspire a desire to see more of your own country and to explore new countries. Whether you want to see ancient ruins, climb tall mountains, swim in glistening lakes, relax on beautiful beaches, see historical sites, eat mouth-watering food, shop at street markets, have time to reflect and contemplate at temples, wander royal palaces or do any of a long list of things, all readers will find somewhere to visit.

Each double spread includes a welcome box with a short introduction to the country, a quick reference box of key facts, portraits and accompanying captions of five famous and significant people, and a timeline that includes moments to remember with key dates and additional information. Each map is stunning. Major cities are clearly labelled as are places of interest that are illustrated and come with accompanying captions. A spotlight zooms in on specific cities and highlights sites of interest.

When you’re done travelling and exploring there is a search-and-find activity at the back of the book that challenges readers to spot all manner of things in the different countries. A detailed glossary and index completes this perfect non-fiction book.

I run out of superlatives to describe this book, it is beautiful, it is stunning, it is a book that every reader should have the opportunity to savour. Sol Linero’s artwork is wonderful and if you’re like me, you’ll be spotting new things every time you pick up the book.

The book is a fabulous way for children to learn about the countries of the world. If this book does not inspire a desire to travel and to see some of the wider world then I don’t know what will. The book is published as a large format coffee-table sized book and is the kind of book that will be pored over for hours and hours. Sure to be a hit with aspiring globetrotters, young explorers and those that prefer observing the world from the comfort of their own home.

Recommended for 7+.

With thanks to Netgalley, Wide Eyed Editions and Quarto Knows for the advanced reader copy.

Our Wonderful World by Ben Handicott and Kalya Rya

This book is a short encyclopaedia, it has a wide introduction of 50 countries along with the memorable moments, key facts, notable people and monuments.

There are many books who do have information about countries, but I found it to be different than all others. As all other books cover only one thing about countries like some are for language, flags, monuments, and etc. But in this book the author has managed very well to bring all that together and serve with the beautiful illustrations.

Though this is a kids book it can be helpful for anyone who is interested in learning or wants to gain knowledge about different countries. So along with the kids, this book is recommended to the very learning soul.
