Nice book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This was a great book to explain maps, where they came from, etc. It is for children 2nd grade and up, and can be rather detailed at times. For younger children and a fasster read I would recommend "Me On The Map".
Learn About maps and gobes using colorful pictures and easy reading large print text

This is a wonderful book for teaching about maps and globes in a simple, fun and colorful way. The text is a nice large size which makes it easy to read. The age level is 7-10 but I am sure my five year old will enjoy it. This is a wonderful book used with Geography A-Z as part of My Fathers World curriculum. Neat stuff. Enjoy the book and go ahead and get both of them together and save on shipping if you can.

Illustrations are simple, colorful and informative. Well done.
