Understanding Geography
From charts and graphs to longitude and latitude, there's no doubt geography can be a tricky subject to learn. This series helps children understand geography by presenting topics in a clear, uncomplicated way. It shows age-appropriate maps with fun activity questions, and includes review questions to solidify information. Plenty of full-color photos are included as well. As an example, in Level 4 there's a simple map of a section of Beijing with a scale and map key. Questions help kids practice their skills: "On this map, one inch equals how many miles?" "About how many kilometers is it from Mao's tomb to the Fengshan Restaurant?" Some bigger reviews are included in the back, along with glossaries, maps and charts. 72 pgs each, pb. -Chad
