Book Overview
Maps are about far more than getting from a to b. Maps can help children understand and explore both their everyday environment and faraway places. With an appealing search-and-find technique, Follow That Map is an interactive picture book that explains and demonstrates key mapping concepts. Kids will enjoy following Sally and her friends as they search for Max and Ollie, a mischievous dog and cat on the lam from the backyard. Sally and friends take an imaginative trip through the neighborhood, city and country, around the world and beyond.
Kids can join in the search for Max and Ollie, who are hiding somewhere in every map. An activity at the end of the book shows children how to make a map of their bedroom.

Rated 4 starsOh, I loved this one!
My five-year old LOVES maps and this book totally caters to that fascination. A wonderful book to help your child develop his mapping skills without sacrificing one bit of fun. Read the book straight through, or take it map by map and teach your child by having him create his own maps.
