This is a great book for learning about the concept of location. In her book, author Joan Sweeney has a young girl show a map of her bedroom, which expands into a map of her house, her neighborhood, her town, her country, her continent, and ends up with a drawing of the world. Illustrator Annette

Cable clearly demonstrates the differences between real places such as a bedroom and a map of the same bedroom. Sweeney's book teaches about symbols and may inspire students to draw their own maps!

Good lesson on maps.

LibraryThing member rbelknap

This is a great example of a realistic fiction picture book. This a great example because it tells the story of this little girl who is exploring how to use maps and where she fits on a map. It goes from her room in the house all the way to the planet Earth in regards to the universe.

This book is a good example of an informational book because the girl in the book (doesn't have a name) shows you through maps of her room, house, neighborhood, town, state, country, and world how to use maps and how to find your location on maps.

Beautifully illustrated and great way for a kid to get started on geography.

Illustrated in full color. In this playful introduction to maps and geography, step by simple step, a young girl shows readers herself on a map of her room, her room on the map of her house, her house on the map of her street--all the way to her country on a map of the world. Once the reader is

familiar with the maps, she demonstrates how readers can find their own country, state, and town--all the way back to their room--on each colorful map.
