Including colorful, engaging illustrations and easy to understand definitions, Geography: An Illustrated A-Z Glossary is a perfect introduction to important physical geography vocabulary. Beginning with Arch and concluding with Woodland, this book provides more than 100 geography terms. Uniquely, each defined word includes other bold vocabulary terms that are defined as well. The comprehensive index shows all the bold vocabulary words with the page number(s) that further define or apply the word to geography. For example, the definition for isthmus includes bold words for strait, tombolo, spirt, shoal, bridge, Earth, and canal. Looking at the index, readers can look up each word’s definition or use with another geographical term. The book also includes a QR code (or link) to a free 3-in-1 Geography Quiz e-book, providing students with a guide to go deeper into continents and countries, including flags, outlines, and general knowledge questions. While most of these questions are not covered in this book, the free e-book would make a great research project for older students or a way to review topics covered in a grade level geography curriculum. It’s easy to see why this is a Beautiful Feet Curriculum Book pick, as the possibilities for enrichment learning are nearly endless.
