Synopsis

An interactive first geography for kids, My World & Globe combines an exciting, completely illustrated book about our physical world with a custom-designed 18-inch inflatable globe and 100 geographical stickers. My World surveys all the continents, oceans, major islands and rivers: where they are and how they formed, the weather you might expect to find there and the people and animals you'll meet along the way. The globe is printed with only the most basic features: water, land masses, and equator. Then using a magic marker and the over 100 colorful stickers-featuring people, places, cities, plus blanks to fill in-kids get to make their own world of personalized knowledge. They can draw in boundaries, label the oceans, name the countries, and put the elephant sticker where the elephants live, the pineapple sticker where pineapples grow-and the "I Live Here" arrow exactly where it belongs. Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club and Troll Book Club.Suitable for ages 4-7.

558,000 copies in print.
