Synopsis

Can your child read a map? By the last page, they can.

Pip found a map. Pip cannot read a single line of it.

A blue wiggle. A green patch. A brown bump. A long row of tiny squares. What on earth do they all mean?

Follow Pip and one very round, very unhelpful pigeon through fifteen bouncy rhyming pages, and learn the real symbols that appear on real maps, one squiggle at a time.

What your child will actually learn
  • What a map key is, and how to use it
  • Rivers, lakes, parks, woods, hills and mountains
  • Roads, footpaths and bridges
  • Towns, buildings and capital cities
  • What the big red YOU ARE HERE dot really means
Why parents and teachers keep reaching for it
  • Real map symbols, not made-up ones. Every symbol in this book matches standard mapping convention, so what your child learns here works on a real map.
  • Built to be read aloud. Bouncy four-line rhymes, one skill per page turn, with a hidden pigeon to find on every spread.
  • Big, clear, uncluttered pictures that show the real place on one page and the map symbol on the next, so the connection clicks.
  • Classroom ready. Maps and spatial skills sit right inside early social studies and geography learning.


Book 1 of the Map It! series. Little explorer. Big world.

Perfect for ages 4 to 8, for bedtime, for the classroom, and for anyone who has ever turned a map upside down and hoped for the best.
