Maps

I recently featured an author's social studies intro set for young children, today we're going to look at another "social studies" book that is sure to please, inform, entertain, and delight. That book is....

that is out there for him to discover. Each country has the map actually drawn out and it is jam packed with small, even tiny, drawings of peoples, costumes, historical points and locations, animals, etc. that make that specific country unique.

When your child stretches out on the floor with this educational delight in front of him, he will learn minute and vast amounts of information. Children delight in little picture drawings and hidden objects. This is kind of like a seek-and-find picture book. Lots to learn and lots of fun doing it. No. It is not a "game book." It is a learning book but one that will be lots of fun to use.

See natural elements for each country as well as the country's cultural heritage. There is a bit of historical significance thrown in with mention and images of historical figures, sites of battles, and other.

So go to your local bookseller and see what a delight this would be to have in your own home library. And you can also try to win a copy here on Chat With Vera.

DISCLOSURE: I received a complimentary copy of Maps from Candlewick for the purpose of this review. No compensation was received and I was not required to render a positive review.

a map lover's dream. I love this as an adult and as a map obsessed child that I was this would've been incredible informational experience to me then also. really pleasing art work, lovely colouring and fascinating details. of course they couldn't do every country but there were a few omissions

that I wish they'd done, like Indonesia (300 million people there!), and in the near East Asia at the expense of some of the many European countries like Belgium and Romania, as nice as those places are I'm sure, some big, diverse, highly populated places were left of in their favour.

4 stars? 5 stars? This is so joyous--I want to cover my apartment in all these maps. While I understand this is not meant to be a complete world atlas, I was a little perplexed that the creators skipped almost entirely over the Middle East region (excepting Jordan) and the Caribbean. Still. SO
