Product Description:

A wonderfully illustrated introduction to the basics of maps and map reading, complete with activities. An early world map is shown, along with an explanation of the explosion of knowledge accompanying the discovery of a round earth. Knowlton explains to children why globes are more realistic than maps, explains map language, and successfully imparts excitement about geography in general.

We really enjoyed this creative book It was an excellent value for what it teaches about maps and globes to grade schoolers The illustrations were excellent and the format of the book drew you in and kept my child reading it over and over This book teaches naturally and only needs a globe to help with understanding I would heartily recommend
