Scholastic Atlas of the World

I chose this atlas out of a selection at Borders, for my middle-school-age child. We had purchased the Rand McNally "intermediate" atlas, which was supposedly for ages 9 and up, but it was too simplistic. This atlas provides a lot more information for the money. The maps definitely have an issue; too much is lost in the binding area. Aside from that, this seems to be a nice student atlas for basic project work -- by basic, I mean it is geared more towards continents and regions. If you want information about specific countries, which seems to me an obvious thing for an atlas to have, you will need to look elsewhere. Too bad!!

This atlas I got from my aunt and uncle as a present.Its a fun way to learn about the earth and all the countries and continents.this atlas would be great for you!If you are looking for an atlas get this one!It is my favorite atlas!

This is a wonderful Atlas for an elementary school aged child. It lists languages, currency, religion, population, etc etc for each country clearly. Great information on rivers and mountains as well. Colorful, clearly displayed information makes it easy to use. My son reads atlas this for fun!
